Oh, and does this one know buzzwords. At a recent staff meeting, he decided it was time to test my knowledge about the technical merits that supported several buzzwords he tossed out. I stepped way out of character, and in front of the other 18 people I apologized to him that I was not a walking dictionary of technical trivia but that I would be happy to add the "research" to my task list. He moved on to other issues.
