I might have just thought I told about it. I guess saying he was yelling is not really true, its more like just really hateful talking. There was this job I was working on where the customer didn't include the font I needed, so I sent it back to the sales person to contact the customer for it. Apparently the customer went all crazy and yelled at them saying that job didn't even have that font. Then this guy who they hired to do some freelance work did the job that evening without the font. So boss man said that made us look really foolish, asking for a font we didn't need. I finally figured out the freelance guy had substituted a font, which is really risky. This was a job that didn't require a proof before printing out several big posters, so they were just lucky the substituted font worked out. I tried to explain this to him, but he just kept on talking about looking foolish. Its like he was having a temper tantrum or something. After he left, the other new guy, who was the only other person there at the time said, "Damn, he's REALLY a dick sometimes!" (He doesn't hold back on his opinions). I was glad to know it wasn't just me thinking it!
But boss man has been okay since then. I'll just have to make sure I stand my ground with him and not let him intimidate me. BTW, he's the one I had to call in and tell I needed to take the day off to handle a personal emergency!
