Frustration Won Today Update: not in trouble. The boss was glad of the heads up, my buddy who was in the same meeting also talked to the boss, no one complained. Had another meeting today and nobody interrupted anybody. Welp, I lost it on someone in a video meeting today. He is a serial interrupter, he does it to everyone but especially me, anytime there's a pause in a conversion he jumps in. He knows I stutter, he's been told before he needs to leave space for me. I'm the subject matter expert. I'm usually pretty calm, I'm not a particularly anxious person, I'm fairly confident, especially when I know what I'm doing. I rarely lose my temper. Not today. Today I got pissed. Red rage gave me about one sentence of perfect speech. I'm either in deep shit for lack of professionalism or I'll never have trouble from him again.
