Neologism of the day: Man-Hassle

[jducoeur]

Man-hassle: n., cognate to "man-hours". Unit of total nuisance imposed by a new rule, the multiple of the pain in the ass per person times the number of people affected.

(Inspired by the proposed Crown Tourney rule, which is far more man-hassle than it is worth...)

I seem to have missed it. What is the proposed new rule?

Basically, on the day of Crown, you must have dcoumentation that your membership will not expire until the *end* of your reign.

I agree with Justin on this issue, and I have already written to the board.

And to illuminate Liam's comment, _all_ contenders must have such proof, not just the victor.

I like the word.

I would love to use it for those times when HR imposes some new rule to make their lives simpler. As in "these new times sheets will save HR 50 man-hours but cost the company in 500 man-hassles from _billable_ workers."
