my bar’s even lower – I didn’t gut a mouthy coworker today while serving birthday cake for a team member’s birthday. Not a jury ANYWHERE would have found me guilty either (among many other heckles were commentary on cake cutting technique, slowness of cake cutting, and wanting second piece before everyone else had their 1st – because he was DONE, you see.)

Actually, shitting myself at that moment would have been worth it if it would have made the cake eating atmosphere even the least bit more unpleasant for him. May have to keep in mind next time I have the big sharp knife in hand and he keeps at it several times after I remind him who has the big sharp knife… More social consequences, for sure, but fewer legal ones (and I DON’T think they’re allowed to tell that in a corporate reference)

Be very happy you’re on sabattical from Corporate America for a spell

I do miss not doing it now that I’ve gotten in the habit.
