I emphatically cut ties with a toxic person in my work life (business-related, not a personal relationship.)

It was a very long time overdue and l am glad l finally took the initiative to do it, and proud of myself for not losing my cool and becoming a shrieking harpy fishwife bitch during the denouement. I stayed rational and professional while he lost his cool, became red-faced and hurled multiple f-bombs at me. In front of the clients.

I am 40 percent sad, and 60 percent happy that this person is now out of my life and out of my business.
