Pressure

[eaglelee257]

I have chronic sinusitis and trouble breathing properly. Now my superior at work comes and blabbers out things like: "work out", "there's enough work to do", "you can't just pitch up for work and then leave for a while and then come back saying your not going to work" (all meaning: stop your crap/lies/excuses and get some drive and work). I wish I could tell her what I thought of what she said, but that would've landed me in trouble, plus I didn't have the breath to get into any argument. Ai.

A non response is a good tactic in psychological warfare. I also like the affirmative response, “you’re right, I don’t know what I was thinking”. If said correctly, it repels their attack and leaves them confused as to what just happened. Later they will suspect that they were played, but they don’t have the courage to admit it.

Some people aren’t worth a response, so you did well.
