@tomieinlove Ah, I though you’d just agree to everything and confirm everything, then back down on the slightest pushback :D

@tomieinlove Works extremely well for stupid work requests. "I have no idea how to do that." vs. "That is a dumb idea for the following reasons..."

@tomieinlove lol, that is the best thing ever.

If you don't like your job, dumb down your skills, responses, and intelligence based on your personal feelings.
