4. Tell engineer that I don't care if he doesn't like the way I arrange his Pro Tools session.
5. Tell self important famous cameo rapper guy that maybe he should have written his verse before coming to the studio and that the one he wrote on the fly wasn't "genius" (Do I sound bitter? I'm not bitter.)
6. Tell R+B Singer that he sounds too much like Michael Jackson to ever make it.
6.5 Tell R+B Singer that he needed to go out and play gigs live if I would ever do more songs for him because it was a pointless exercise without the live show.
7. Tell children's music company to take the damn deal and not worry about giving up %30 percent creative control.
8. Tell Mix Engineer not to tell record company president which song is the single.
9. Tell record company president which song should be the single.
10. Tell manager that manipulating the bands ego is my job, not hers.

I like some of these...

Come to think of it and with a little more thought, I think we could come up with a top 50.
