A group of us designers, when the workload gets to be too much:

Oh, and a quote that recently has been used out-loud in my appartment as I do epic battles with archvillains in City of Heroes, from Pulp Fiction:

Whenever there’s a call for me on the tech support line, (call for MacTech on line <whatever>) or one of the salesdrones come out to let me know that a customer wants to talk to me, my response is the same…

in my best guttural, gravelly voice, i say…

“There is no MacTech, only Zuul!”

the good salesdrones respond “okay, then there’s a call for Zuul on line <whatever>”

“there is no Zuul, only MacTech”

i usually keep this up a couple times, then grudgingly take the call and help some clueless (l)user who shouldn’t be using a toaster, let alone a computer, figure out their problem (90% of the time it’s an RTFM or ID-10-T issue…)

Why are you taking our Christmas tree, why?”. So far, no one has responded with anything other than confusion, and certainly none have called me a “sweet little tot”.

And I’ll often ask the dinner host I’ve he or she will be serving Who Hash and Roast Beast.
