Isn't this how everyone talks to their boss?

OK, I know I wasn't going to talk about work, but I just found out something that kind of makes me laugh. So yesterday my manager was actually in town, and got to I meet with him. The good news is that I won't be demoted--apparently he has decided that I do have enough experience to stay at my current level. (!)

The bad news is that I guess I had exceptionally bad body language while speaking to him. My friend S came by and became very concerned when she saw the two of us. Apparently we looked like this.


But I wasn't the girl in this picture, oh no.

I was the one on the left.

S told me she was worried about going home, because she really thought I might deck him! (although why would I need to hit him, when I was already looming over him?) She kept going by his office to make sure that we were actually still communicating and that I hadn't started throttling him.

I'm really not that intimidating--I mean, really, no one is afraid of me. I'm a lover, not a fighter. And I swear I didn't yell at any time. But it's kind of funny that apparently I was so dominating when I talked to him. And yet it's also kind of sad, especially because this was me on my good behavior, trying to hide how I actually felt. I didn't remember looming at all; I remember smiling and thinking I was getting through this very well!

I just guess I have completely lost perspective. Man, I am a mess. I need to get out of here!
