    Dude, if you have it like that you may need to rethink your career choice. That is some serious anger issues.

    Probably not, but they may fire you for not knowing how to spell swearing.

    Turrets.

    Homicidal ideation.

    External locus of control.



    They're always the problem. It's never you. There's nothing you can change. Am I getting that right?

    Especially if you offended a sufficiently high official who knows Bacon is not a belief system that is appropriate.

    That's one reason I don't do driver facing cameras. Carefully crafted and applied profanity applied to the windshield is one of the greatest stress busters there is.

    That reminded me one time I left a actual voice mail as per company policy related to calling in sick. I was not doing well when I left it. I sufficiently offended the secretary taking dictation from voice mails that morning to be hauled in and given a talking to to see if I still have a job or not.

    This was way before internet and cameras.

    I don't understand why some companies will have trouble with profanity delivered by facing cams when for decades Qualcomm satellite was cooked with novels full of bad words and things from angry driver against a dispatcher or three.

    From my days of recovering tractors of those who quit and leave behind pages of profanity laced insults writings about why they quit etc inside the satellite keyboard screen. Pages and pages. It's almost like a ragewriting. Before a rage quit.

    For those that leave hints, I am working on brevity in posts, it's a ongoing project. I'm not the best. Not in today's 140 character twitter age.
