This is why I'm shutting off my computer. People suck theme...
Them: do you approve <this>?
Me: what do you intend to do with <this>, what specifically are you seeking my alignment to do with <this>?
Them: it sounds like <this> is not ready to be approved, <this> is a problem now.
Me: what is the problem? What does my approval (or lack of approval) allow you to proceed with (or prevent you from achieving)?
Them: will you tell <others> to give you <what you need>?
Me: <they> know what I need, <this> is not <their> priority. If you tell me what is triggered or prevented by my alignment, perhaps we can come to an aligned understanding and a pathway forward.
Them: I put a meeting on your calendar for Monday. Have a good weekend.
Me: <I wanted you to shut up anyway if you can't tell me why you are asking me to approve this half-assed piece of <this>, what is intended, AND, I'm only less friendly and more pointed on Mondays, so good luck, BISH>
You have a good weekend, too
