time out

am being such a smart ass today. someone stop me before I get fired.

Higher Up: blah blah… blah… pretend to care… blah.
H: (getting up from conference room table) Please excuse me.
Higher Up: Where are you going?
H: To calm down. If I don’t leave now, I will lose my temper. And if I lose my temper, I will speak my mind. I feel very strongly about what happened here yesterday and if I tell you just what that is, one of two things will happen. Either I will quit or you will fire me. I want to avoid that.
Higher Up: (really long pause) Fair enough.
