Among the long list of annoying things in the world, I am adding this: people who respond to a clever (imho) tongue-in-cheek diatribe with a stock catchphrase. I don't necessarily expect you to take the time to be clever in response, but for god's sake if you can't be clever, at least be genuine.

Recent suggestions I have made that were inexplicably not taken:
- You should respond with "Will that count as a service item towards tenure?"
- Y'know, some Skoal would aid in expressing that thought mightily.
- I hope someone is going to call them out on advocating spousal abuse. That's so 19th century.
- The baseball bat's in the garage.
Self-assessment
It's performance review time. Here are a list of things I would like to include, but probably won't:
- Successfully refrained from telling clients, "Hey, not my problem. Bud-dee."
- Under obstacles, list "Central IT's inability to tell their collective ass from a hole in the ground."
- "Dude, I fookin' rock!"
- Explained to clients that the time has passed for major changes without any four-letter words.
