to wonder when the following took place and why did noone tell me?

[StealthPolarBear]

For about the first 30 years of my life, 'source' was almost exclusively a noun. Now it's almost exclusively used as a verb - why?

Which "Little book of management crap" decided that the new way to say "From now" or "In the future" is "Moving forward". If I hear it one more time I will scream and pull my hair out. Which other way would we be moving, when it comes to time?

Does anyone need a bio break?

Oh look, look, look.

Let's just park all of these in the ideas car park for now, shall we?

My husband said to me the other day that he wanted to 'ask the question' I ridiculed him of course. What the fuck else could he ask???

what is a bio break? is it a wee break?

I am job hunting and one of the ones I have found claims the job will involve "utilising bleeding edge technology to deliver quality and robust software solutions"

oh and another, business analyst: The objective of the audit is to ensure full alignment exists across all interface points. Identifying opportunities for process & procedural improvement to provide the most optimum & efficient processes.

OK, just what I already do

This cross-fertilisation of knowledge is great.

Because remember we're all in this together.

Yes, stealth a bio break is a wee break.

The first time we heard this at work we were all . It's actually fallen into regular usage now where I work - firstly as an ironic kind of joke and now just habit. Even DS (9) has been known to use it.

'he did it two times' NO he didn't 'he did it twice'
this for some reason really annoys me

Yes, we 'execute' projects, 'roll' stuff out, pick the low hanging fruit and synergise on a daily basis...

Have you got a balanced scorecard though? It's the only way to tell if you're on target with the key performance indicators.

'Touch base' just makes me want to scream into my fist. I have a friend who uses it all the time (and as much as I love him, I always want to ram my phone down his throat when I hear it).

we really need to drive out the efficiencies in this thread.

I'll rubber stamp some enhancements, we need to be belt and braces. We can't fudge it.

Ping me to give me your ok.

Have we got the signage right?

Hahahaha "bio-break"

Good.

Grief.

This thread has been a journey (sniff)

My old boss always used to say "let's make sure we're all singing from the same hymn sheet" and "let's park it there" to end a meeting. Twat.

'balanced scorecard'
Yes indeed.
I am now too old and brave to pretend I know whjat such things mean.
I just go 'Wot?' loudly.

Thanks for all the jargon I've missed since giving up on the 9 to 5 over 15 years ago.

I sometimes slumber in Pedants' Corner, but this thread is definitely up with the best as a source of info and cringeworthy use of language !!

Loving it !

:)

If we are really going to give this thread 'traction' I suggest that we 'go granular' and make sure we are 'adding value'.....

I am going to start using bio-break though just to see how many people also start using it without questioning it.

let's take this offline...

What is a bio-break then?

I think it's when you visit a comfort station.

We do lots of forward planning. Presumably the kind you do before you do the real panning.

Or planning, even.

People these days also very keen on 'refelction' and the 'reflective cycle.

I say spend less time navel gazing and more time doing some bloody work.
