Lambaste

What Anna did: walk down the hall, calmly ask to see him, close the door, ask why he'd just said those things, explained why they'd hurt her, accepted his assurance that he would be more careful next time, thank him for his time, open the door, walk back to her desk, sit down, and continue working.

What Anna wished she'd done: stomped down the hall, demanded to see him, slammed the door, yell at him for saying what he had, ignored and rejected his explanations and apologies, given her two weeks' notice, slammed the door open, strutted back to her desk, packed her things, and gotten the hell out of there for good.
