THE ROBING ROOM

Good gracious, a level 5 screamer. A colleague urged me to try to think of him as a lion behind bars roaring at you but unable to hurt you. However, I try to be as invisible as possible, and to say as little as possible in his presence. He doesn't want your actual legal opinion--just affirmation of whatever dumb idea he has. I'm reminded of the posters that say 'When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you.' He seems to think the worst of people, which would have to leak into his judicial decisions. And boy, does he turn on a dime. He's going to blow a gasket one day while he's yelling at lawyers or humble employees.
