Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I should not fill out this survey today, for I am tempted to copy and paste that. I'm also thinking about listing my job title as:

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We just discovered we have way more presents for older niece than we do for younger niece, who is 4. Any hive mind suggestions for last minute gifts?
Tens and twenties?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I suppose it wouldn't be a good idea to write down my job description as "doing shit what is more important than helping you all re-engineer our processes."
Probably not.
I hate doing job-related surveys. Last year when they were re-organizing the dept they had us list our responsibilities and major accomplishments. I asked my boss if I could list successfully dealing with a specific end-user who was notoriously obnoxious as an accomplishment.

Oh, dear. My work filter now blocks my wet men site.
Like they can really stop me.
But I feel very startled, now that they're blocking me from my own stuff. It's not that adult. Sometimes men that are wet have no clothes on. It's just life. There are no goolies!

In further day-from-hell news, I could not find my stocking-requirement foil-wrapped santas. And at the Eckerd's in which I was looking, all the Christmas candy was on sale, and they were putting out the Valentine's Day candy. I exlaimed in shock and horror, and the woman stocking the shelves said, "It's not that far away!" Ack! What are the last-minute Christmas shoppers supposed to do?

Due to our company being acquired, I have to fill out "a survey to determine how we spend our time and to identify opportunities for optimization and common barriers across functional groups."
Yuck. We had to do that in order to determine how many FTEs (full-time equivalents) our department required, prior to being MIPed (our term for being laid off as a result of the Management Improvement Process). They wouldn't accept my answer to "How long does it take to write a newsletter article?" which was "How long is a piece of rope?"

When I was a full-time M$FT employee, my manager always reminded me that listing Did not kill co-workers as an accomplishment, while showing my admirable restraint and team spirit, probably wasn't appropriate for year-end reviews.

Jilli, HA! The sentiment would have been improved if you had added a "Yet" to that accomplishment.
