The station told me it would be great because the actress is actually Australian and pulls the Jersey accent flawlessly. Complete garbage the lot of it.

Let's get this thread vetted so we can move forward with the release.

Agreed, we need a deeper dive around that issue.

If my boss says "at the end of the day" one more time I think I might punch him in the face.

Just say no do it this way, than some passive agressive I dont agree with you bullshit.

We'll get that to you by EOD.

"let's be proactive..."

The biggest idiots say this. I hate it. It means: "I'm stupid and I don't have anything to say.

There are some good ones in Mud's bingo chart above though.

In a previous career, I sat through endless dumb meetings where the people who had the table long enough to spout out the lowest brain stem statements won the game. After a while it wasn't funny because these jokers were serious. The business is now in liquidation.

"If it don't make dollars it don't make sense."

Anything that uses a "K" when it is properly spelled with a "c"






On second thought, maybe that's not really the kind of business you were talking about.

Used to have a manager (woman) from Atlanta and she had the worst "southern-belle" hick accent I've ever heard.

She would say, "We felt it important to socialize this information with y'all."

Uhhhhg. Just fucking say it woman.

Hey now "end of the day" is very useful and I find myself using it more and more. I use to say "I'll get that to you within the hour" but that just cramped my two hour lunches and safety meeting schedule.

Can you run with that?

Why do I have to run when I can sit at my desk and get it done?

Hilarious. I just listened to a voice mail where the sales guy wants me to call him to set up a "deep dive session".

You don't really have to worry until it comes time to manage the headcount.

Which inevitably happens after you add too many resources.

The new system is a paradigm shift for the organization. It will revolutionize the customer experience while creating opportunities for future synergies, all the while reducing manual input and increasing overall efficiency. Right after that happens my arse will birth a star.

A dirt star?

I don't know why, but I hate when business people use sports metaphors:

"Whoa...he really hit it out of the park with that one!"
"That right there is a game changer."
"We're late in the 4th quarter folks..."

I'm not sure if the client is ready for the home run. Let's aim for mediocrity and expand the project timeline.
