To hate the term 'journey'

[Awkwardas]

You lose weight you've been on a 'journey' you have counselling it was a tough 'journey' you aim to get fit, it's the start of your 'journey' can noon just lose weight, get fit, sort their head out without going on a 'journey' it drives me mad!

Will you get the hump?
Sorry. ..

No, but it may be a bumpy ride ahead.

It's over used. And when it's used for minor crap it's really annoying

Our HT keeps talking about our journey as well... apparently when the students reach their benchmarks, we will trade in our Corsa and "feel the success in our hair" in an open-top sports car.

No matter the results, the first CPD day of each new year starts with this same speech about being in a Corsa.

(And I find a Corsa much more practical anyway )

Is he giving out Cabriolets?

Do you have any openings?

WyfOfBathe Please tell us that the daily commute for the staff is a) across the Pennines b) Dartmoor c) in the Hebrides or d) Faulkland

Sorry *Falkland, I was also thinking about suggesting Craggy Island.

Well for the next 8 hours ill be going on a journey, limited only by the power of my own mind. When I finish the journey I hope to feel refreshed and invigorated.
night everyone

Ps ill be naked too :o

Ha! At work they talk like this constantly, if we're not explaining our journey (!) (i.e. What we have done) we're thinking how we tell the story (!) (I.e. What we've done). TF? We also 'reach out to each other' rather than getting in touch or giving them a call. Sad times.

YANBU. Hate the whole use of 'journey'

yanbu. Completely overused saccharine expression

Haha at 'breastfeeding journey'. I fed DD on the train once, does that count?

Ha ha at BF journey. At least when you go anywhere you don't have to make a pack lunch for that DC.

Don't like it either, to me it sounds 'precious'.

Zombie you get to choose your language and have a free pass. Plus .

For the rest of us, we're just getting through life. We're not on BGT or X-Factor or The Voice. We're just living!

This is a zombie thread, as well being a Zombie thread.

IamtheZombie died, earlier this year, I think.

Yep - it's up there with brain storm, blue sky thinking, fungible and Pacific rather than specific in irksome words/phrases used at work.

The other one that gets me is "challenge". Dare you take the Challenge of trying our new shampoo/yoghurt/deodorant?

Look, mate, if eating your yoghurt is a challenge, then I'd rather just get one that tastes nice.

'reaching out' is another one.

From what I read of the sadly late Zombie I think she would be most amused to be still referenced here!

Another one is 'creating a space'. Arggh!

Journey pisses me off.

As does reaching out.

As does people telling you their story. "What's your story?" "I'll tell you my story."

When did so many people become so self obsessed that they think others need to know every bloody detail of their lives. Probably around the arrival of social media actually. When some people started to think others wanted to see pictures of their dinner.

Or know how 'loved up' they were. 😷🙄

I blame the rise and rise of reality TV. Some muppets appropriate the inane mannerisms and vocabulary used so frequently on these shows because they think it makes them a special snowflake.

It just makes them sound like a moron. As does the stupid faux crying at every opportunity accompanied by the pressing of your index fingers into the corners of your eyes.

Just stop it. You're not on TV. No gives a fuck.
