Thou art a stiff necked people.

We have a new person in charge of reading and approving therapeutic documentation. I had my writeup of an interaction returned "for corrections" because, apparently, he doesn't feel kvetching (as in "resident kvetched at length") is sufficiently standard English. It's the first piece of documentation I have ever had rejected, and even though I know even Dimaggio's streak came to an end, it still gets under my skin. After fuming for a few minutes, I simply crossed out "kvetched", replaced it with "vented his spleen" and resubmitted it. This could easily escalate into a full scale battle of wills, as I have no intention of resubmitting this particular documentation replacing the offending verb with anything but a colloquialism.

How is everything else going? Well, this was enough to make me kvetch my spleen out, so how do you think everything else is, smart guy?
