This is not Doppler. We are not predicting heavy rains. Nor are we directing flight traffic. This has got to stop.
"Do you have any interest in spearheading this project?"
No I do not. I do not have any interest in using a spear for anything. Except maybe to stab you in the eye. It's 2008. Haven't you heard we don't have to hunt for food anymore? And spears have no place in the office.
"We need to get the ball rolling."
(Probably the least offensive inane office phrase. I myself am guilty of using it. But flashbacks of kindergarten recess can't be good for morale.)
"Robust."
(As in: "This group made a really robust powerpoint.")
I am not making this up. Repeated use of the adjective "robust" to describe anything having anything to do with business of any kind is unacceptable and ridiculous.
"Happy Monday. Happy Tuesday. Happy Humpday. Happy Thursday. Happy Friday."
NO DAY IS A HAPPY DAY AT WORK. Please. Except maybe Friday, and that is the only obvious exception to the rule.
Just stop wishing people happy days altogether. It irritates everyone.
"Let's get back on track."
This is not a railroad. That is all.
More to come later.
