Trail of tears

In my job I've learned to expect the unexpected. And we've had the unexpected occur around here on a number of occasions, including people burning their food or popcorn in the microwave which triggered the fire alarm, someone having a bike stolen from in front of the building. But for the past couple of days we've had something new happen. Yesterday our front desk person IM'd me to ask if I heard someone crying downstairs. Granted I can't hear much with my window open, so I got up to walk down the hall only to hear the sounds of a girl crying in the second floor bathroom. However that's not the weird part. Today there was some guy sitting on the stairs on the second floor openly sobbing. To have someone in the building crying is an odd occurrence; to have it happen two days in a row is very out of the ordinary. Is it because it's spring time and people are shitcanning relationships to clear the deck for their post-graduation lives? Jeebus we all get dumped at some point in our lives, and there's certainly a better place to mourn the end of a relationship than a stairwell (crawling into a whiskey bottle is one suggestion). Goddamn, people, get a grip.
