Crap 'Buzzwords'

Did they mean exponentially higher or exponentially lower levels of productivity?

I'd have preferred "learnings" myself. ;)

Edit: or "learns", that's a good one.

We were bludgeoned with Covey buzzwords some years ago.

The man may have some occasionally insightful things to say, but you can infer a lot from his books about what a grade A cunt he actually is.

"...if there is one book you should buy..."
Guess who the author is?

That wall of bollocks would be much better if it had a bulleted list in it.

'Brownbag Lunch Meeting' ??

... to which lunch is being provided ???

I was foxed by this one.

I saw it in an email going round inviting me to a "brown bag". I think it was actually a conference call with the US. It's a meeting to which invitees are expected to bring their own lunch. In the US, this is often carried in a brown paper bag.

So this lunch meeting was actually happening at about 5pm UK time.

Well now I feel like a fool for bringing all these copies of Razzle to this meeting.

But fair play for tearing out the pages and eating them while staring the guest presenter dead in the eye the whole time.

An absolute classic, especially when used by non-Americans to invite only non-Americans.

At least you were provided with 'Lunch' and 'Meeting' clues.

Used to be regularly invited to plain old 'Brown bag on [Technology x]' and a straw poll showed that no-one in my dept actually knew what it meant. I think it originates with optional drop-in lunchtime lectures at US unis.

First time I vaguely realised it was American, I thought it was an evening bring-a-bottle thing, because you always saw people disguising bottles from the 'liquor store' in films.

we have fully catered "Lunch 'n Learns". which is just as awful, but with dry roasted peanuts and pret.

Yep, it means they're too tight to lay on butties.

Phwoar.

My lunch break is mine. If I'm expected to work through it, pay me overtime.

Brown-bag that.

No-one's 'busy' any more, everybody's 'slammed'. Three people have told me they're slammed so far today, and it's only 9.30.

Sure they mean busy and not caned? I've usually smoked one or two by 9.30.

Also, I'm going to relaunch caned as a buzzword. #90srevival

baked?

totally?

Munted.

Here it's all talk of having 'no bandwidth' or being 'resource constrained'. Bonus bullshit points for the latter being dangerously close to talking about oneself in the third person.

She's back.

The mind boggles.

Why did they capitalise the G in the URL?
They way she says productivity.

No relation, thank fuck.
