FYI, so you’re not totally clueless when you’re blamed…
STRESS PUPPY: A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whining all the time.
XEROX SUBSIDY: Euphemism for nicking free photocopies from one’s workplace.
PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE: The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.
ADMINISPHERE: The rarified organizational layers that start just above the rank and file. Decisions that fall from the “adminisphere” are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve. This is often affiliated with the dreaded “administrivia” - needless paperwork and processes.
404: Someone who’s clueless. From the World Wide Web error message “404 Not Found” (meaning that the requested document could not be located).
OHNOSECOND: That minuscule moment in time when you realize that you’ve just made a BIG mistake (e.g. you’ve just hit ‘reply all’).
WOOFies: Well Off Older Folk.
CROP DUSTING: Surreptitiously farting while passing through a CUBE FARM, then enjoying the ensuing sounds of dismay and disgust. Usually leads to PRAIRIE DOGGING.
