short end of the stick ...

I took the deal ... I got a check for the money I was missing and am working still for the company. I am, however, still looking for other employment, despite my raise.

Another day at work and the mgr whom I greatly dislike was there ... prowling like a caged cat, he wanted to pounce on anyone who wasn't doing what he wanted them to do. Perhaps his hell will be a work camp where either he is a prisoner or conversely a controller for persons who will never obey and continually plot against him.
