It kind of spoils a righteous moment

When you storm in in a blaze of energy, righteous anger positivelyu spilling off you to find that Senior Partner is actually not there. Of course he's not there. I've known all week he would be out of town today (see, i left a day gap to simmer and rage cool down)

Thankfully Secondary partner was there. Which is of the good - because secondary partner listens and thinks. She's actually spooky like that. You will sit and talk to her and she woin;t interrupt, she won't say anything she won't change expression, she will just suck alllllll the knowledge in, then spend a minute or so digesting it and only THEN will she answer. So I spoke to her.

I have the impression that she doesn't quite get WHY the APOLOGY was so important to me (she gets why it was offensive but not why it was so very very offensive), but she does get that it is important, kinda gets the context and the impact of it and above all gets that I'm not impressed and she fully gets the picture thing in wince engendring detail

So, she (largely) understands. Better, I sure she gets it on a "Damn that was a horrible thing to do to him" level rather than a "damn, one of our people is being hysterical let's quieten him down" level or a "damn one of our people is going to sue us" level. Which is progress.

I'm still frustrated and need to have it out with him just to clear the air and not have it hanging over me.
