This list was forwarded to me and I just had to post it. Not unlike The Office, the list below is a bit too realistic and hits too close to home [wink::wink].

I can’t begin to tell you how easily I can put a face, name, and situation on each one of these. Just today, I came out of a meeting that was a fine example of the first word (below) and when I read it, it was comforting to know that this rings all too true elsewhere in corporate America.

And I admit it, I really did Laugh Out Loud [LOL] when I first read it. Enjoy…

1. BLAMESTORMING: Sitting around in a group discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed and who was responsible.
2. SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, poops on everything and then leaves.
3. SALMON DAY: The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die in the end.
4. CUBE FARM: An office filled with cubicles.
5. 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.
6. MOUSE POTATO: The online, wired generation’s answer to the couch potato.
7. SITCOMs: Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. What Yuppies get into when they have children and on of them stops working to stay home with the kids.
8. STRESS PUPPY: A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiny.
9. OHNOSECOND: That fraction of a second of time in which you realize that you’ve just made a BIG mistake. – Like after hitting send on an email accidentally addressed to your boss instead of your wife.
10. 404: Someone who’s clueless. From the World Wide Web error Message “404 Not Found,” meaning that the requested site could not be located.
