two to one

Dec 17, 2007 21:28

so after surviving the two episodes i had at work since returning from my leave of absence, i finally had an 'aha! you're a dickless unhappy jerk and i'm not' moment! (well except for the 'dickless' parrt, which i think i'm better off without...

but i was sitting in a meeting watching my boss argue with me, finally turning red and leaning forward in his chair after everyone else in the room started to agree with me. and it was like slow motion. like i could see the veins in his head, and the ruddy skin and freckled face, and his sad bits of hair clinging to the side of his bald head like a tropical rain forest sloth on a coconut tree... nothing else in this world mattered to him at that moment other than the fact that he thought someone was trying to take control of his world. I spent the morning calling friends to let them know that one of our friend from college died after falling into a coma, and this bald 50 year old man who feared growing old and losing what he considered power was turning red over the title of a segment on closed-circuit TV.

aha!
