-- Essential Additions for the Workplace Vocabulary:

1. BLAMESTORMING: Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline has missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.

2. SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.

3. ASSMOSIS: The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to the boss rather than by working hard.

4. SALMON DAY: The experience of spending an entire day swimming up stream only to get screwed and die in the end.

5. MOUSE POTATO: The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couchpotato.

6. STRESS PUPPY: A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiny.

14. CUBE FARM: An office filled with cubicles.

15. 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.

Somebody circle the calendar. For the first time in my entire life I am going to recommend a free application... from .... .... Microsoft. YIPES! Yes, I feel dirty but this freebie is worth the shame. A really nice slide show creator that does that coolish picture animation that doesn't make people dizzy (like powerpointers). Get it here (you'll need to the the silly authentication thing...sorry).
