Or not accept the screaming, and professionally explain what had 
happened.  Perhaps I am naive and have been with managers that will 
accept this.  But if you set your limits up front, MOST people will not 
cross that line.

I have had people yell at me.  I let them vent, and then calmly 
explained to them that I dont accept that.  I am a professional just 
like you, and there is no need to treat me that way.  I havent had a 
problem since.
