T.J. had a question for the Equal Opportunity rep. It was nothing really, just something simple.

The Equal Opportunity representative was possibly the most unflappable person in around. Always patient, he was a good listener. And a good mediator. People were calmed, if not outright put to sleep, in his presence.

T.J. walked into the rep’s bay. The rep had his hands firmly around someone else’s neck. “I’ll squeeze your neck until your head pops!” the rep screamed out.

Just then the rep looked over. “I’ll be with you in a moment.”

“Uh, never mind,” T.J. stammered. “It’s not important.”
