Its also nice to find someone out there who enjoys the company they work for. And don't feel bad about crying. Unfortunately its part of being a woman. Just today, I got written up at work because someone else dropped the ball. I was furious and that also meant tears. However at least your boss acknowledged you were upset about the situation.

The good part is that you are a strong enough person to not only admit to the problem, but also to fix it.

I started my career as a serious slacker. I never took anything seriously. But it's funny how the tune changes when you desperately NEED the money you are earning and you start taking some pride in the job you do. I became one of the most trust-worthy and dependable workers I know...and I was frequently frustrated by others who just didn't give a crap about the quality of their work.
