A good number of people have written that we should not refer to people as "resources", and there are plenty of reasons why this is so. However, I continue to hear the term resource applied to human beings on a daily basis.
I've created a video on YouTube called, "I'm not a Resource". If you agree, please comment either here or on YouTube. If you would like, send a short (no more than 10 seconds) video clip to daverooneyca (at) gmail (dot) com of you saying, "I'm not a resource. I'm a person.", and over time I'll create an aggregate video of all the responses.
So, here is "I'm not a Resource":

As you can guess, it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
I'll try and get you a video in the next few days.
Great idea!

Cool - thank you!
Excellent! I've added a link to your article in the text.
Thanks for your post. This has annoyed me so much and will probably do for a long time to come. But your video will be sent around :-)
I'm sending a video comment later today.
