paddle whacking

I saw that tweet from Jessica Alba and just had to start paddle whacking.

documentrix 

A female contractor tasked with writing technical documentation for large software products who admittedly knows nothing about the software but insists upon asking an unending series of unnecessary questions and stands in your cube until you answer. Calling you at home on weekends is not out of bounds.
Bill: Hey, Mark, guess who called last night?
Mark: Let me guess, the documentrix.
Bill: Yeah, I almost interrupted my paddle whacking to answer the phone but I saw it was her number.
Mark: You couldn't finish after that, could you?
Bill: No. Pretty disappointing.

documentress 

A female contractor tasked with writing technical documentation for large software products.
Bill: Say, Mark, who's the new girl?
Mark: She's the new documentress.
Bill: Wow, I feel my pencil getting sharper already.
