Cranky Pants Award

Sooo the Sequester Requester is back and in rare form.  After a particularly difficult week of shenanigans, the Sequester Requester said to me on Thursday, "I think it would be kinda cool if our department had a 'Cranky Pants Award.'  It could be a traveling award and venture around the department."

I choose to refrain from commenting for a couple reasons...

A. I can hear my mom's voice saying, "Now, if you can't say anything nice, Angela Dawn, don't say anything at all."  {Also Thumper says this...and I sometimes hear his voice too.}

B. Snarky is not ladylike.

After much thought and deliberation, I found that the Cranky Pants Award should be coupled with the "Shirt of Shame."  

"What's a 'Shirt of Shame', Angie Good?"

It's a simple white t-shirt with a list of ways the Shirt Shame wearer has driven the Cranky Pants recipient to the point of being fortunate enough to win such a prize.  The list may include the following reasons...procrastinating, throwing the S.S. under the bus, laziness thus increasing everyone else's workload by 2-fold, never apologizing, so on and so forth.

My idea was not well received.
