 Pie
 Mmmmmm I like pie.  These numbers aren't really completely accurate, but it's often how I feel when the first thing people care about or ask about is, "How can we get around the the problem?", "Think out of the box, how can we hack this?", etc, instead of the first question being "How can we fix this?".  Then, if the fix takes too long (after trying to actually fix the frelling thing), you hack it to make it work for the clients, but it should not be your first go to solution. Ok. End rant.
