- According to a new study from job search company Monster, 8 out of 10 people have cried at work.

Monster’s poll of 3,000 workers found that 45% of respondents who admitted to crying said it was because of their bosses or co-workers. Only 19% of respondents who had cried said that personal, non-work issues were the reason for the teardrops on their keyboards. Monster career expert Vicki Salemi said, “When you cry at work, that’s a sign of a toxic environment.”

Dannette Giltz (of Sturgis) gave birth to the healthy triplets on August 10. Giltz says that despite having two other children, she did not know she was 34 weeks pregnant.

Bonus News (not mentioned on-air):No matter how sweet, adorable and loving children are, there is a universal truth to almost every kid on the planet: they are gross. A mom shared on Facebook about an incident involving her daughter, Blakely, and the grossest ice cream cone ever. The post features an image of mom Sidney holding a vanilla ice cream cone. Apparently, Blakely had asked her mom to hold the dripping cone for her. Obviously, like any human parent, Sidney took a lick to clean that puppy up. However, Sidney noticed her daughter is looking at her funny. When Sidney asked her what was wrong, and her daughter replied: “Is it okay? I accidentally wiped my butt with it.”… Naturally mom asked her daughter how she “accidentally” wiped her but with an ice cream cone. Daughter Blakely replied, “I used the wrong hand to wipe but it was just pee mommy.”
