"Grow the business." How the f**k do you grow a business? Sprinkle some employees on the lawn and water them every day?

My co-workers and I used to play a game during staff meetings called BUZZWORD BINGO. We'd each make up a card with the most common buzz words and catch phrases that our boss used. As the meeting progressed, we'd mark them off. Whoever got the most one. Wasn't uncommon that someone would pull the age old cough and grunt the word BINGO during a meeting.

I copied and pasted this from an email I received hours ago:

"this will help you prepare for the OGT"

That is one of the most annoying phrases I know...I fail to see how the Ohio Graduation Test is really worth at least 2 years of worring, espically when it is just a different version of the Profiency test, and we can take it 7 times.

matt,you're a little too young to go out worring

Its time to go above and beyond the call of duty...... WTF????? I'm an Optician...... I make freakin' eyeglasses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU'RE FIRED!


That one can ruin your whole day.

True story.


I walked in on a Monday morning turned the corner and there was my boss. He looked at me and asked "What are you doing here?"

Turns out I had been transfered to another plant on Friday and nobody told me about it.

When he found out I had worked the weekend he said. "oh s***..... the paperwork"

I grabbed my tools and took 3 1/2 hours to show up at the new plant.

It kind of also makes your colon open a bit making you feel that you were about to crap yourself.....

How about "working hard or hardly working?"

I was just thinking about this same thing not long ago and how annoying these phrases are overused in the office.

The one they've used A LOT lately is "at the end of the day we'll meet and LETS DOWNLOAD" meaning bring our ideas together

"What can they BRING TO THE TABLE"

"apples to apples"

"PING me later"

"Let me PICK YOUR BRAIN"

Somebody has a case of the Mondays









Oh wait you may get your ass kicked if you say that.

Metrics...... (and I'm not talking meters instead of yards....)

"We're putting cover pages on our TPS reports now. Did you not get that memo?"

"Okay Shane. Who did you kill THIS time?"

The furlough list will be out next week.

Hate that one.

I am an early bird. So I hear "Are you leaving already" To which I reply "I actually realize that we start at 7:30"

I usually get to the office between 6:30am and 7:00am (our boss is flexible as long as we put in our 8 hours & a parrothead ) , sometimes I get the "Leaving so soon?" to which I reply with a smile "KMA!"
