A senior government official who was moved to another docket is reported to be gloomy all day with erratic temper, and minces no words blurting expletives at aides and staff. The official is said to have been caught unawares by the changes because he believed he was giving his best in his previous assignment. His aides whisper to Corridors of Power that what he missed most from the previous job was the high flying life and meeting dignitaries that called him with lofty title. And of course, the allowances that come with it, as well. His aides now say if his mood does not improve, they will organise for him counselling.
