Sparkling blows her top

One of the things I absolutely love about Sparkling Eyes is how she expresses her opinion an various matters. She is pretty passionate this way. More so when I am wrong and she is right about something. Which of course I must be wrong even if I "think" I am right.  This I  happens to be the nature of relationships.  Or, of our particular relationship. For no matter how much status I might have in my workplace, which seems like little at times. My status in the Sparkling household is below the Olly the cat.  He will tell anyone this is true.  So at times when I do something without thinking, like for example ask technophobic Sparkling to save a file on her computer, then I am in the wrong because I should know otherwise. It might be because all women are always right and all men are always wrong. However, it was my fault for sending the file to her, even though she asked for it, but didn't know what to do next.  

Sparkling is worth a lot more than she gets paid and she doesn't get paid much. She works behind the bar and kitchen of an establishment.  It is also true in reverse for this saying.  A lot of well paid individuals are not worth their actual paid. Be they politicians, civil servants or private company employees, such as bankers, accountants and sales executives.  Sparkling is smart, she is passionate and she is socialistic. Which may be unfortunate for any person who has the belief they are better than anyone else.  Last night she'd had enough of being spoken to in a demeaning way by those she works for. They have given her a new contract of employment which makes her employment position more tenuous than it has ever been, considering the state of the employment market and the dire position of the economy. So when an individual said to Sparkling her opinion didn't matter, I thought he must of had either a bullet proof vest on or a wish to die. Saying such a thing to Sparkling was waving a red flag in front of a pretty pissed of bull and having nowhere to run. To clarify, Sparkling asked "what did you just say?" Personally I'd of started to apologize at this moment, and thrown in some grovelling.  Being stupid this individual just happened to repeat what he said. An exceedingly stupid thing.   Sparkling then let rip, saying how many bosses she had, how none of them understood or knew how difficult her job was, how she'd got a new contract, how little she got paid and who they did they think they were. The man who did this began to drop his head, he could not even look at Sparkling, like a scolded dog his tail dropped between his legs. I was then informed as the evening went on Sparkling let rip with her pump action shot gun on a number of men who had not given her the respect she very much deserved. 

When I heard what Sparkling said, I felt so happy and proud she took no prisoners, I was choked up. I also know there were people there who witnessed this and were happy she had stood up at last. With nothing to lose other than her job which now those same people had devalued as they had devalued her. 

Myself, I do my best never to wave a red flag in front of Sparkling, but it can't be helped because it's a thing which can be done without knowing it. I'm glad I'm not a dog otherwise there might of been less of body than there is.
