Like a stupid seeking missile

Apparently, according to a study done by Men's Health magazine , I live in the second angriest city in the US. A good thing I'm not a man and I don't live in Orlando, I suppose, or else I'd probably truly be a walking heart attack in the making...
On a (sort of) related note and to continue the theme from a previous post, my boss - who will be leaving very soon, but really not soon enough for me - gave me a lecture in front of one of my co-workers yesterday. He still says I should be grateful for the five percent increase he's bestowing upon me (which he refers to as a raise, even though our company doesn't give merit increases - it's actually an equity increase to compensate me for the various new duties I've taken on that has caused my job to become more of an Administrative Assistant role, which, if we were able to reclassify right now, would have actually cost him MORE than what I was even asking...but I digress). And he expects that the person who will be appointed in his place will require even more work out of me. And of course he continued to compare my position and my salary with those in positions a pay grade below (with less responsibility and a lower salary) and several pay grades above (which require a Master's degree, which my position does not). The insanity. Then, later, he told me not to pout. What am I, five? I wasn't pouting. It's called being bitter. And I'm good at it. Can't ya tell??

Hi anonymous. No, I don't know who it is, unless it's Megi in cognito.
