I can say I'm definitely guilty of sitting down at a position, immediately calling adjacent facilities / centers and telling them "look I don't know what was going on but he/she went on break... New dealer!"

"Whatever restrictions he had in place you can delete. Run em! You can't hurt me. Just gimme control!". And away we go. First transmission... "ACID, change of plans, proceed direct ____, keep the speed up u numba one.". Also important to decontaminate the filthy sector w clorox wipes and change the settings so the data blocks don't cover the entire scope on max old man font. D-side or A/D says do u want me to do ______? Don't care! Do what u want. If u have to ask then don't. Stupid landline calls are my pet peeve. "Dovu want me to turn/sequence/separate/space those 2? Noooo, let them hit. yes obv , Do yer jobbbbb & hangup!!!!!$-$+%;!$+3

Most of the time it's a prop and jet.. My first transmission is grabbing divergence. 15° the jet descends through the props alt wing tip to wing tip which probably looks BA out the window, jet out runs the prop and is through his alt and life goes on. Same with jet to jet. 15° someone is #1 and someone is #2... Choose wisely ???
It's really not that hard.
I feel as though you've never been tower dumped..

When your facility has noise abatement procedures to avoid a neighborhood but you live in said neighborhood and could care less about what your neighbors think....

Seeme that it's an operational necessity to turn them early about 98% of the time....

Noise abatement for this C-17? Nah turn him left/right to a 290 and send over down town Nashville on a Saturday morning at 0600. Operational necessity, to hell with the hippies.

It's small victories like these that will get me through the next 15 years.

There's that, and there's the asshole at approach who thinks cancelling auto VFR releases somehow punishes us. Okay, every one of them contacting you at the boundary...which is worse? They're still coming to you either way.

Putting an airport you want to go to as number 1 on your list just to be offered number 15. Then realize the same airports you listed as #1,2, and 3 are still on the lists that follow like they’re available.

It's really an illusion to make you think you have a choice

The only choice many of us got was one facility. Take it or leave it. Be thankful you get a choice
Don’t be salty you were a CTI grad that got last in their class
