This Doesn't Happen Every Day

Today I had a unique experience that doesn't happen to just anyone any old day of the week. Today I sat before a newly-appointed 23-year-old CFO and was told, as he slouched in his chair over-using air quotes and looking especially bored, "You keep saying you're going to 'try' to cut a considerable sum from your budget. Are you actually planning on 'doing' so?" This--after being told the necessary news just 5 minutes in advance of the meeting. I could've jumped across the table and taken him. And what's with the air quotes around doing?
