the moral of this story is: yell at work

Yesterday, a coworker yelled at me & our supervisor. Usually, the two of us get along well - he loans me DVDs, we share jokes, he wrote a letter of recommendation for me for BVS. He was frustrated & angry. It was understandable. My employer is having some serious troubles, a continuing series of crises since last August. It keeps him, and the rest of us, from being able to do our jobs well.

There's only 10 more weeks for me here, hamdu-illah. (for those of you who do not know transliterated Arabic, Hamdu-illah= praise be to god.)

My supervisor & I talked over the situation with the executive director yesterday afternoon. The resolution that they came to was that Frustrated Yelling Man gets today off as a paid holiday. We were already scheduled a half day off - Good Friday, crucifixion, Catholic employer, etc.

So, the moral of the story is that yelling at your supervisor gets you a morning to sleep in & 4 hours extra vacation. Maybe I should start yelling at work. . .
