The downside of any software upgrade is dealing with the obstreperous coworkers that can't handle any change at any time for any reason without complaining about it.

This is another one of those words that I like. But I never understood obstreperous to include being aggressively snoopy. ;)

Thanks for explaining this word which appears several time (describing the main character) in one of my favorite (non-GA) series. The Mercy Thompson books by Patricia Briggs. They also feature a gay werewolf (who is awesome).
