Sidebar: is there anything more absurd than unrelated adults addressing a fellow adult as "Coach" when he is not the coach of a team they are on? It's not a title. He's not a lord. He's Mister Dudeface unless he's YOUR coach.

I have never understood why former anything's are still addressed with the title they retired from.

I spent the meeting with my headphones plugged in but nearly muted so that I could limit the level of irritation while I got actual work done.

Smart. And OMG your neighbor >:(
