Assorted Ravings of the Slightly-Weird

The Lighter Side

It's Friday, the boss is away and so the mice shall play! Heh. (Witness my pathetic attempt at rhyming.)

Anyhow, this came into my inbox via my colleague today. For your sakes I have left out the not-so-funny ones.

Thesaurus for office workers
Blamestorming: Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.
Seagull manager: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything and then leaves. (This sounds very familiar...)
Assmosis: The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss rather than by working hard.
Salmon day: The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die.
Percussive maintenance: The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.

And my personal favourite...
Ohnosecond: That miniscule fraction of time in which you realise that you've just made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit 'reply all' or in my case, hitting the restart button).

In other news, they've brought back the milkshake at MacDonald's! (I remember dragging Flyboy all over the western half of SG in a futile search for a MacDonald's chocolate milkshake when I developed a craving for the drink about 4 years ago.) I wonder if it's as good as I remembered, although I've often found that most things seldom are.

And, I'm now here, here AND here, and somewhere else as well. Let's see how long I can keep this going...

Have a good one y'all!
