Encounters of the Pissant Kind

When, as a pissant of the clerical kind, you are approached by Hotshots, of the managerial kind, it is important to attempt to converse with them. Initiating a conversation is usually not necessary, hotshots believe they should be spoken to at all times. While smiling and nodding is normally sufficient, it will not suffice in an encounter such as this. When, as a pissant, you express your thoughts please be prepared to be informed to the contrary. Hotshots will, at all times, inform you of how you should think and they do not need an invitation to do so. Hotshots will typically exemplify this type of behavior while you are stuck on an elevator ride with them. It is also not appropriate to post about this behavior on Facebook or another social networking site, as by that point you would be stating an opinion. As we learned early in this post, having an opinion is not necessary; a hotshot will provide it to you. Instead, the proper response is to smile, laugh jokingly and walk away as the elevator opens. Then proceed to eat your bagel at your half desk thanking the lord for bagel Thursday.
