followup on ranty guy
Sep. 20th, 2004 10:15 amI spoke with my rabbi this morning. He had already heard a little of what happened Saturday, though I'm not sure what or from whom.
He re-affirmed that the lines of authority run from him (and the associate rabbi) to me and, if I choose, to anyone I explicitly delegate to. So I am within rights to make decisions like the one I did on Saturday, and he completely supports me. He agrees with me that ranty-guy's anger was way out of proportion to any perceived slight.
He urged me to adopt a new mantra if this happens again: "I will not be spoken to in this way". If ranty-guy goes off again, I will say that and, if he continues, walk away.
He thanked me for telling him about this (I had apologized for bothering him with it). He will follow up with ranty-guy. Also, he said, in the future I should feel free to use him ("perhaps you should take it up with the rabbi").
Have I said lately how great my rabbi is?
