My
tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45:1
Thank you to Rich at www.thatsRich.com
for hosting the "stuff that floats around the
net"
Blamestorming:
Sitting around in a group
discussing why a deadline was missed or a project
failed, and who was responsible.
Body Nazis: Hard-core
exercise and weight-lifting fanatics who look down on
anyone who doesn't work out obsessively.
Chainsaw Consultant: An
outside expert brought in to reduce the employee
headcount, leaving the top brass with clean hands.
Cube Farm: An office filled
with cubicles.
Ego Surfing: Scanning the
Net, databases, print media and so on, looking for
references to one's own name.
Idea Hamsters: People who
always have their idea generators running.
Keyboard Plaque: The
disgusting build-up of dirt and crud found on computer
keyboards.
Mouse Potato: The on-line,
wired generation's answer to the couch potato.
Ohnosecond: That minuscule
fraction of time in which you realize that you've just
made a big mistake.
Perot: To quit unexpectedly,
as in "My cellular phone just perot'ed."
Prairie Dogging: When
someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm,
and people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's
going on.
SITCOMS: What yuppies turn
into when they have children and one of them stops
working to stay home with the kids. Stands for
Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage.
