If *I* did it I'd probably lose my job for some technical failure [that would mysteriously occur and I'd be blamed for]. He already tried to have my job when his wireless at home went out (because his son configured it wrong) and I couldn't tell him right-then-and-there how to fix it.

Thankfully I have some awesome bosses who said uhhh that's not her job. We'll help you.
We used to have a few managers who would do just that. However, they had the established interpersonal relationship with him to do it.
I posted this note for a few reasons. I wanted to see what an objective eye thought of its appropriateness. I also wanted to see what an objective eye made of the content and ideals in it.
