This is what "going postal" must be like. This was a truly surreal situation that I can only describe as unstable.
There's no chance that I would do any more work for this guy. The likelihood of physical violence is way too high abd he's a former boxer. The ranting and raving was bizarre, and in retrospect I should have just walked out instead of yelling back because it could have escalated further, but of course it was just a reflexive reaction. I've never seen anyone melt-down like this before. This guy is going to get a stroke or a heart attack for sure. ************************************************************************ Right Wing Mike http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingmike Bigfoot Hates Obama http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingmike/5690856 I Wish Hillary had married OJ http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingmike/4236924 --- On Thu, 7/31/08, Gil Hale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Gil Hale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: [NF] Well the gig from hell is finally over > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, July 31, 2008, 8:36 AM > It is too bad the departure had to be sprinkled with such > apparent > hostility, even if one-sided.
