If you’re truthful, articulate and value integrity and have tried to temper your retorts but failed, you might need to troubleshoot or you’ll appear totally tactless and truculent. Your job may be terminated - not temporarily!
If you’ve tallied up too many tempests and transformed from 'team player' to 'turned-off', bullies may tell that they were targeted and tasted your terse tongue.
They may then testify this left them **totalled by your terrible taunts and call it truculent behaviour.

*tanty = tantrum
**a slang expression usually applied to cars eg “He totalled his car when he hit the tree” = the car is bent beyond repair. In this case the person who is totalled had been hurt irreparably.
A Drabble is a story told in 100 words. No more, no less.

Here for how to make a clicky signature.
Over at traverselife, I'm spending the month looking at different aspects of bullying.

I love the pic. It's absolutely breath taking.
Great post. Love the sound of your writing voice.
your photo is splendid. what a beautiful expanse of sky. and here's to hoping that no one is totaled this week! I really like the word truculent.
great post Sue. you do this so well. have a wonderful week.
(oh, about my blog. it disappeared completely yesterday and I thought all was lost. somehow, some way, I got it back. long story! lesson here: back up your template, and your hard drive!!!)
Happy Easter! I'm stopping by on the A-Z Challenge.
Dafeenah, The Isle of Skye is oh gosh, words can't do it justice...awesome, stunning, amazing, incredible, historic, dramatic. If you ever have the chance to go, don't hesitate! (but take good stout boots)
Melissa, thankyou so much.
Becky, thanks for dropping by, glad it came back, but I'm a bit concerned, I tell all my students to "back it up" not once but at least in two different places. It's a case of do as I say, don't do as I do. I really MUST remember to back it up...(teflon brain)
Bob, Hi! thanks for dropping in :)
