rest in peace Plaidman and thank you for your understanding boss

Today was not an easy day at work, after waking up to find out that a good friend was dead, the day went downhill from there. Needless to say, my bullshit tolerance was incredibly low today.
I spent a good amount of time yelling at people with the mute on. My manager who sits two cubicles down came over and asked if everything is okay, I responded quite bluntly "I woke up this morning to find out one of my friends killed themselves yesterday, how do you think I'm doing"
His response "okay, just make sure you are using mute when yelling at the soulless morons giving you crap today"

Thank you JT, I knew there was a reason you are my favorite manager there.
I'm actually tearing up writing this, not just from sadness over Plaidman, but out of gratitude to my manager for being understanding at a time when he would have been 100% right to write me up for lack of professionalism.

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. Glad your manager was understanding, too.

I woke up to three texts, one facebook message, and email notifying me of a private message here, and a news feed that had practically exploded during the night... oh and nightmares the night before, always a bad omen.

Agreed Wtf, and any manager who would actually have wrote you up deserves to get fired for being a crappy boss. Seriously, if they aren't understanding that bad things happen and your making an effort to come in an do your job under extreme stress they really don't have any business being in charge. Props to your boss for not being soulless.
