Bullshit Bingo

-
Kristi and Zed have both had posts recently about corporate gibberish, buzzwords, and phrases that make you want to reach down the speakers throat and show them their still-beating heart to them before they die!

OK, so I got carried away, but they both had posts like the following cartoon from the always right on Scott Adams.

    Dilbert humor is so painfully funny, like watching The Office.

    Got to love it! My favorite is:
    Just run it up a flagpole and see who salutes. Classic! Hatefully classic!

    GKL: He knows exactly what goes on in cubeville.

    Zed: Makes you cringe, doesn't it?

    Raven: There still might be hope for you... I find that alcohol helps!

    My least favorite term is "due diligence" people tend to over-use that term in my office, and most them probably don't even know what it means.

    I hear you on that Slinger! And by that they mean get it over with fast so they can go ahead with whatever plan they had in the first place.

    HL: Try not to throw out your back when you shift that thing!

    There was a commercial on tv today with people at a conference playing "buzzword bingo." You'll identify with it.

    It's funny, because every field has its own buzzwords-- education, the restaurant business. Every field seems to be filled with middle managers struggling to find a reason for their existences, and striving to find the words that will give them those reasons.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
