documentia

a mental illness that exists in the business world where someone, usually a manager, falsely believes that documentation will not only solve all possible problems that may occur, but also produce employees with an identical skill set and complete knowledge on the subject documented.

John's documentia led him to believe that servers would never crash and websites would always be available, even though Isaac had never completed the proper documentation.

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.

documentated

From the Old English word document:

To provide written statement of factual or substantial support for statements made or ideas expressed; especially : to equip with exact references to authoritative supporting information.

These processes need to be documentated so we know what we're supposed to do next time this happens!
