the small wave i caused is growing in size as it washes over the office.

judo man in the department down the hall, just returned from a long sick leave, due to a back injury from a tournament.

when i sought him to have a question answered, he tacked on at the end, "oh by the way, i heard about your...'letter'".

i paused for a moment, not understanding. unconciously, my feet took a slight step back, when it suddenly occurred to me that word of my email to boss2 and his superiors, had circulated throughout the different departments.

"how did you know about that?" i exclaimed, even though i knew the answer. with an expression that called for a crafty wink, he responded, "it's...around".

the fourty-something then looked at me wide-eyed and stated, "i must say that i need to take my hat off to you. no one has ever stood up to him. they're too scared."

i boggled, "of HIM?? why??"

his eyes grew even wider- "because he makes...threats."

i sighed and shook my head.

i'm really starting to feel like i accomplished something.
