It's not your imagination. Bosses can display inexplicable, hair-trigger mood swings without warning, similar to teething toddlers.

Tyrants!
I especially like the advice on anticipation and avoidance. If you don't rush and be patient, you can avoid all that moody tyrant unpleasantness. Good article!
