334. OK. Now I see what you mean.

I'm sorry you're going through that. I've been through some trying times with work as well. My last boss was an intense, Ron Paul worshiping jackass. His guys were all idiots because he had no respect for his employees. He liked me but he'd want you to drive to another job that was an hour away from the one you were on when there was no good reason for it. Went on vacation and forgot to pay everyone. Etc...

Since we're talking about temper, yeah, I went there. I got so pissed off when he didn't pay everyone a week before Hurricane Sandy and then wanted me to drive for an hour in a snow storm to get my check... Well, when I got home I drank a few beers and texted him and said FUCK RON PAUL.

I know I shouldn't be doing that in this economy but damn that felt good.

And that wasn't the last straw. The last straw was when he wanted me to fix a job his guys fucked up BAD. "Nope," I says, "I'm not gonna do it. Get the idiot who's responsible over here to fix it. Just looking at this mess freaks me out."

But yeah, not getting too angry in the future is definitely food for thought.
