I just finished designing another board, a waveform generator, and I

What should I have replied to a statement like that?

I don't know the employee's personality, nor, for that matter, I don't
really know yours... you don't always respond well when I razz you a
bit ;-)

So I'd wait and see what he says.

If he comes off as all mouth and no brains, bounce his head off the
sidewalk on the way out the door.
