Just yesterday I yelled at the thuggish neighbor cat who ran into my apartment when I had my hands too full of grocery bags to stop him. I also picked him up and threw his fuzzy butt out the door. I don't see any of those things as appropriate for the workplace.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I never really yelled except sometimes at the dogs. This has changed VERY recently and my temper is much shorter in general. It hasn't happened often by any means, but I have yelled, much to my surprise and to those around me.
I yelled about a client after I got off the phone and my receptionist nearly jumped out of his chair. He is even more mild manner than I am and was totally shocked.
I really dislike being questioned about things that I did that have nothing to do with the other person. I dislike having my time wasted going over things with people when what I did was correct and they are just being micro-managing busy bodies. If it is a boss I will endure, but I know they see my displeasure in my face. If it is a peer, I lose my patience and raise my voice like I would with mac being a toot. BECAUSE
I need to practice "It doesn't concern you".
We yell to have a conversation at home, but I don't bring that to work.
I have a great deal of relief that I finally finished this Supernatural picture. I was totally blocked drawing anything I conceived of from the ground up.
NO FITBIT.
That is cool on so many levels. I mean, even if you did not know Supernatural it is mega cool. Like belongs in an exhibition at a gallery cool.
I have yelled at work before, in frustration I'm sure, but never at a subordinate or, really, directly at someone because they were the cause of the frustration. Honestly mostly I've yelled at the bastardy computer. I try not to yell too much in my personal life but some situations warrant yelling (yelling at guy who broke into my house, for example) & I'm glad that yelling wasn't out of my nature at times like those.
My boss just announced she's going to another position at the company. I thought she might when the availability of that position was announced. My two coworkers said I should apply for her position, which is nice, but I don't think I want it. Too much management and not enough of the interesting stuff we do.
I'm sure I yell. A lot, though not necessarily in anger....

I skipped right past "cat" and was shocked at this behavior. :)
I don't yell a lot at work, but I swear a lot.
Haha yeah that's worth a yell for sure.
I don't yell at work. But I do have a nice clear ringing teacher voice that immediately will bring a crowd to heel, including adults. It's kinda hilarious sometimes when I unintentionally invoke it. There can be a crowd of big shots who are ignoring someone scurrying around trying to herd them and I'll lift my voice just slightly and they'll all shuffle off to do whatever I said. It's like it goes right past their conscious brain and they're in action before they realize why.
I have had to say "I'm not yelling at you, I'm just yelling" kind of a lot. Probably not at work, but mostly because I am not that invested in what goes on at work - enough for frustrated grunts and sighs, but not yelling. I mean, it's not like work matters as much as a football game (where there is MUCH yelling at the TV)
