Reminds of a something I read ages ago but couldn't find just now with a five-second google search...

Basically someone got a few promotions and realized he didn't want to get promoted any more as it moved him farther and farther from the work he liked (think, someone that likes programming that keeps getting promotions into management). So, one day he bought a big feather quill pen and started using that instead of a regular pen and never got promoted again...
