Can't Keep My Big Mouth Shut

kaitouSo because of the economy production at my job was cut down to 3 days a week back at the beginning of the year. (My position wasn't affected by that) One of the guys in the Quality department took a voluntary 90 day layoff. He was hourly, so going down to only 3 days a week would have actually been more of a pay cut than unemployment.
His 90 days were up and he was back to work this week, which was great. Today he and I were talking, and he was telling me how he didn't know what to do with his time, how he lost track of days and missed his bowling league because he didn't realize it was Monday. My boss jumped in saying, "I'm jealous, I can't wait till I can do that someday."
I tried to bite my tongue, I really did. But it didn't work. Instead I replied. "Well, I think the voluntary layoff was available to all of us. So if you really want to......"
It just made me angry that he could be so thoughtless. But I really do need to learn to hold my tongue around him better.
