Sharingtime opens his big, stupid mouth in a meeting
(I'm on a conference call with a room full of my peers in New York.)
Boss: How're things going on those accounts, Lee?
Me: *venomous outrage at how my own company is setting me up to fail and I'm doing the best I can with it, but things need to change and this is really fucking pissing me off and how dare you and how stupid can you be*
(Stunned silence in room.)
Me: *more screaming like a crazy person and I can flash-forward to tomorrow and see myself being fired for this outburst and mistakemistakemistakemistake*
(Dead air. They may have hung up on me.)
Boss: (pauses) You're right. That needs to change. Would fixing it by Monday work?
Me: Yes. That's fine.
Me (in my head): That worked?
