I'll do it.
The boss's dog is SUCH a love. I'm plotting how to dognap her right now.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

I am spending basically all day trying to find someone willing to accept responsibility for a decision I'll gladly make, but don't have the authority to. I need questions answered, and direction chosen.
I'll give you my problem dev. He LOVES to answer questions and choose directions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As long as whoever signs their name to it (I can't find a dev willing to do that) Amy or Jilli's problem child can have at it.
I just got one of the dumbest calls you can make to someone's cell phone: "I have a delivery for you and I am outside your home and no one is answering the door."
I'm really excited for you. If at any time you want to schedule a delivery for a time I am inside my home, let's talk. But why did you choose this order to do things in?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
P.S. Your role is also not being an argumentative asshat, but I've been told that no one has been able to change your mind about that. YET.
Sharp stick to a soft, squishy spot?

I've been told that HR frowns on that. Right now I'm sticking to treating him like a bright and overly-helpful toddler.

I think if it's not your sharp stick, they might not mind as much.
At least, I'm going forward with that.

Balls. I had a meeting with someone a couple of months ago, and we decided not to do what they wanted.
And I wrote a letter to that effect. Which has been sitting on my boss' desk for over a month, waiting for his signature. I have reminded him of it twice, but still no signature.
So the follow-up meeting with the people who want us to do the thing is tomorrow. And I'm going to have to say in person that we're not going to do the thing, and stop calling us. And I really don't want to.

Oh, no good, very bad day, 'Suela.

Frowns on it or actually marks against it on your review? Details are important.

I'll check with my boss when she comes back from vacation. Considering the dev in question, she'd probably give me a better review if I did poke him with sharp sticks.

Sharp sticks are an excellent motivational tool. And, if not, shish kabob.
