Finally, and at the risk of immodesty, I discovered I was nominated to this post because it was believed that I would not hesitate to tender a policy that best benefited the collective rather than one which better served my own self-interests.

I don't like your chances of pulling this off smoothly.
You misunderestimate me.  I'm in the penumbra of senior management: high enough up to get hierarchical respect, but not so high as to be blamed for any decisions handed down.  As a member of the Legal "team" (total membership: two; total membership on-site: one), I'm not viewed as wearing the jersey of any one functional group that any other group might be at war with.  I'm like Switzerland, but with slightly less personality.  Finally, and at the risk of immodesty, I discovered I was nominated to this post because it was believed that I would not hesitate to tender a policy that best benefited the collective rather than one which better served my own self-interests.

Anyway, it was a team effort, said team consisting of the very employees who will live under the guidelines.  So they can bite my ass, provided it be done without within the restrictions pertaining to sight, sound, and smell and with due regard for privacy.

Ah, got it.  I think I misoverestimated your role in the corporate pantheon. I was thinking something like Hephaestus rather than Prometheus.

Back on topic, this list is pretty good:

(I hate people that sneak up on me in a cube when I have headphones on.  Even though I usually put a rearview mirror on my monitor, I still get surprised)

And this article is hilarious:

This thread somehow makes me feel vindicated about climbing into my brown(c) truck every workday for the last 30 years. Grin
