"YOU KNOW," I SAID, "if we're going to have this kind of confrontational relationship ..."
But that's as far as I got. "And you'll do what?" he pounced. Clearly, being confrontational was exactly what my boss intended. And I'd just tried to put a condition on my future employment. Big mistake. I was back home, unemployed, by 8:30 a.m.
I promised myself I wouldn't leave that room until I defined and redefined myself in purely spiritual terms.
