English term or phrase: blowing a gasket
She gave me a copy of a note, just the top part, with some city union logo. She told me to
find somebody named cc who worked there. Actually what she screamed was, "Just do it,
moron!"

: Oh.

: The next day, Wednesday, she fired me.

: And Thursday, Pete was reading the note and blowing a gasket.
