Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

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.

Punishingly Intricate

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....

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 skipped right past "cat" and was shocked at this behavior. :)

hip deep in pie

I don't yell a lot at work, but I swear a lot.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh yeah, sports yelling? Totally different thing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yeah Franny! That's great. I don't know the principal there anymore, but Mary K Powers is still a vice principal. Is it the gifted magnet? The librarian there (whose name escapes me) was wonderful. I wonder if she is still there.

Yes, the gifted magnet. The principal is newish, I haven't heard good or bad about him yet. I think he gets to coast a bit on the fact that the school already works well.

I am Jessica WRT yelling. I do not yell at work, but that may have as much to do with the power dynamics of teaching as anything else. Boss doesn't yell at his faculty, and we sure don't yell at him. Students don't exactly flourish when their professors yell, so I don't yell at them either. But the kids? They escalate to shouting right away, and I usually take the bait and yell too even though I know better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just found out the last member of my former team was laid off today, making me the last man standing. (My soon-to-be-former boss being in the most awkward position of having been told there is no place for her on the new org chart, but being asked to stick around "for a while" anyway. And both of us really want me to take her job title when she goes except I can't do that until the company actually lays her off!)
