Flight Crew Rejected Takeoff
Aircraft
On the takeoff roll; set takeoff thrust; called out '89 knots;' cross-referenced the engine gauges and noted number 2 Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) rapidly increasing thru 900. As the EGT reached 930 and continued to rise; I elected to reject the takeoff (approximately 119 knots); informed ATC and passengers. Cleared runway and referenced the QRH for Rejected Takeoff (RTO) procedures and any applicable engine checklist (none quite fit this scenario). Held out for brake cooling and returned to the gate. Prior to the RTO; we had returned to the gate for a hot start on the number 2 engine.While I feel confident that the RTO was the proper action; my reading of the situation may have [been] distorted by the numerous human factors that had bombarded me in the previous few legs. A hot start just before the RTO. The last leg of the evening before found me in the middle of a personal conflict between two employees that resulted in a Station Manager and Chief Pilot in the cockpit [and] on the phone with me during preflight duties; a frustrating event that both kept me up that night and distracted all day.
