“So,” Mr. Shelburn smirked, as he swayed by my desk, already overloaded with work that accumulated during the holiday. “What is your New Years Resolution?”
I forced myself to breathe in-slowly. I was seething inside.
“Sure,” he laughed, glancing down at the mass of papers that seemed to clutter my desk already.
“Hmm,” I sighed, looking up at his arrogant grin. “You want a resolution? “ I stacked the pile of papers, crumpled them into a wad, then merrily tossed them into the trash can.
“My promise is to realize what is REALLY important in life, and do away with the rest.”
Suddenly, everyone smiled.

YAY! Mr Shelburn deserved to have his smirk rubbed back in his face. It’s good treatment for an office bully. 🙂
