The next guy who calls me Roger or Rodge can get a free nut-ectomy.
I borrowed the lovely sentiment (if not the proposed procedure) from Elizabeth Becton, an office manager and scheduler who works for Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash). Ms. Becton went ballistic when a hapless constituent addressed her as "Liz" in a friendly e-mail, and she continued to badger her mortified victim despite receiving a half-dozen written apologies. Politico has the whole e-mail exchange. Becton sounds like a real barrel of laughs.
Elected officials with a Sun King complex, that's nothing new. It is sort of annoying, though, when even the hired help demands the same worshipful treatment.
Good post, Raj!
