To maintain a steady low blood pressure on the days where you don't have to work, don't check your work e-mail from home. Nothing will set your facial capillaries to the "burst" setting quite like getting an e-mail from your boss, copied to his boss, attempting to throw you under the bus for something that is 100% not your fault.
Never mind that your boss is apparently afraid of his own shadow and has obviously never heard (or possibly just not understood) the phrase, "the buck stops here."
Never mind that you have e-mail documentation that there is no need for anyone to be under a bus, but if someone simply must be thrown under it, that it sure as hell isn't you.
Never mind that the analogy of people of low rank being like mushrooms (kept in the dark and fed shit) is feeling a little too close for comfort right now.
Of course, if you don't check your e-mail from home, you won't know you're angry until you're sitting at your desk on the clock, significantly increasing the odds that you're going to go all Iraqi journalist and throw a damn shoe at his head!

same thing going on here...
Maybe it's just Floridian Way...
Weak spined jackasses make the corporate world go round.
Better that you found out at home rather than in or near his presence. Hopefully you've had time to cool down before you had to see him again. Hopefully you've had time to practice your "I hate you for your whimpy back stabbingw ways, but I'll be nice...for now" look in the mirror. I've never mastered it but I've heard that it can be done.
Best of luck.
