Welp, I got in a shouting match with my boss at work. [View all]
The stress finally just, breached the walls.
It's what happens when you don't communicate. Tensions build up between you and others you know?
He questioned what's been happening to my performance lately and started making accusations.
I revealed that I had been dealing with two cancer scares in my family (one my own wife, the other her father) and I'm still reeling from the death of my brother in law.
He started prodding at why I keep making so many phone calls on shift to my wife and he was raising his voice so I started shouting back "because that's what you do when everyone's getting cancer and there's been a death in the family!!"
He started pouring through log sheets of what my performance looked like and we started cooling off and he admitted that, had he known about what I just revealed, he would have known that I wasn't just slacking off. He said he had no way of knowing but know that he understands it changes things.
He recommended I take a vacation because I hadn't done so since a started over a year ago.
So I've got all next week off. And I still can't help but feel guilty. But I think I'm going to spend time with family.
