Mediation Gone Bad
Posted Aug 25, 2014 by anonymous | 313 views | 0 comments
He was supposed to be mediating. I asked him a polite question in a courteous voice. He abruptly moved toward me in a threatening manner, raised his voice and moved his hands as if he were about to strike me. If he had laid one finger on me: his wonderful career, including his massive salary, and his brand new state of the art fancy car, would have gone swirling down the great big toilet bowl of his life. And for what reason? Because I asked him to "Please repeat what you just said"? So many people admire him. I see him for what he always has been: a sarcastic bully with a permanent smirk on his face, with unkempt hair and disrespect for authority, and a tendency to run wild, along with garbled angry monosyllabic responses to my attempts to make pleasant conversation whenever our paths cross. I have no idea what turned his life around, but it he has not turned around to my satisfaction.
