Dealing with real anger.

The series about what I learn in cognitive behavior therapy consist of the following parts:

After I discovered that I in a sense caused my own anger I expected that I would stop talking to myself but it got worse.
It took me a few days before I realized that was because I was actually angry at a guy at my work. This lazy bastard has been doing only halve his work for years. The problem is that is that mister vd B is a manager four levels up. Two levels below the general manager. He causes a lot of problems for me and my colleagues.

Late December last year he subtracted 192 hours overtime from my time sheet instead of adding them. Which in effect meant that I started this year with a negative total of vacation hours. I found out about this last May when I wanted to plan a holiday.
I was told that it didn’t matter. I could still plan my holiday and the time sheet would be corrected.
Two months after that I found that the problem still wasn’t solved. So I started a complaining campaign that resulted in absolutely nothing.

In September I finally got to talk to mister vd B and he acted surprised. As if this was the first time anyone told him about this. He looked at my time sheet for 2008 and told me that I must have made a mistake with my time sheet from 2007. But he was willing to look into it.
One week later I got a new time sheet for 2007. He had actually forge it.
My 6 weeks period of sick leave in October and November was missing, instead he had written 3 weeks of holiday. And he had given me 39 holiday hours in the first week of the Christmas holiday!
I only work 31 hours a week.

After this I must have been very angry but I didn’t recognize the feeling.
I filed an official complained at human resources and demanded an answer by the 25the of October. In the letter I mention some details about Promen’s fraud with reimbursement of traveling expenses and told them that I would send a copy of the letter to the union if they didn’t respond in time.

Then I waited.
And as I learned to recognize my feelings of anger I decided that I shouldn’t go to the union but to the police.

The 25the of October came and went without a response from Promen.
I did hear via the grapevine that this lady of human recourses had talk with mister vd B and that he had promised to correct his “mistake” at some point in the future.
I was also told that there wasn’t much more that human resources could do. Which is very strange because Promen has rules about what will happen to people who don’t preform their jobs.
After fair warning they are sacked.

Last Monday night I was so mad I couldn’t sleep.
I wrote a little note about a few other fraudulent things mister vd B has done. (Among others forging my psychological examination in 2002. As a result of that I didn’t find out that I’m autistic until 2006.)
I told the lady of human resources that if I wouldn’t find an answer in my mailbox by Friday I would notify the police and send her the note via Promen’s internal mail service.
I don’t believe I’ve ever been so angry as I was Tuesday morning on route to my work. People must have thought I was mad as I was yelling to myself at the top of my voice.

Wednesday my manager told me that I will be having a talk with someone on November the 10the at 10 o’clock. He didn’t know with whom but I would get a notice in the mail.
I didn’t get a notice in the mail so I still don’t know with whom I will be talking but I’m assuming that it will be with the general manager. He is the only one in the company with the power to sack mister vd B. Which is one of the two solutions to the problem that I find acceptable.
The other being that mister vd B is convicted for fraud and spends the next few years in jail.
