You also know that sooner or later the wrong person is going to hear him say the wrong thing. That can get nasty.

I sometimes do some freelance work on the road for one particular individual. Whenever this guy gets upset or mad he has a tendency to pick stuff up and throw it across the room and cuss and complain. I guess it's his way of coping. Another thing he does is when the client calls him on radio, he always says something like, "I wonder what that (*^R^&FYVY wants now." And then he "sometimes" gets on the radio all sweet and nice. I say sometimes because sometimes he is pretty condescending to them and it's obvious. Personally, I think this method only teaches whatever crew members happen to be present that it's ok to act like this and evidently this client isn't all that important to the AV company. Just working around this boss has taught me quite a bit of about reacting to the stress moments that happen to occur on almost every showsite (ie, Murphy's Law). P.S. Also posted on Krys blog as well. Hi Lee,

Glad to finally serve it up. I can't be certain that stopping by before things get under way helps, but when the very nervous see someone going about their business like nothing special is happening it's gotta help. Like a first-time flyer depending on the calm of an experienced flyer in the next seat when the plane starts making scary (but ordinary) noises.
