Storyline: Andy complains to
Judy that the boss is being unreasonable, flaring up at him for something that isn't a big
deal. |

Judy: |
You look like you're fuming. What's
going on? |
|
|
Andy: |
The boss is being unreasonable! He flared up at me,
making a mountain out of molehill! |
|
|
Judy: |
What's the "molehill" he made a
mountain out of? |
|
|
Andy: |
I only made a few more copies, and I didn't think it was any
big deal, but he blew up at me! |
|
|
Judy: |
Well, he has been under a lot of pressure
recently. The company has been losing money and he's been a little bit depressed. |
|
|
Andy: |
Well, I know he has the blues, but it doesn't mean he can
vent his anger on me. |
