Salmon Days
From this past week's Saturday Toronto Star, comes a few emerging catch phrases that made me laugh out loud. Here's the best of the bunch:
Seagull Manager: A manager, who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.
Assmosis: The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to the boss rather than working hard.
Salmon Day: The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die in the end.
Percussive Maintenance: The fine art of whacking the stuffing out of an electronic device to get it to work again.
Adminisphere: The rarefied organizational layers beginning 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.
Ohnosecond: That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a big mistake.
Crop Dusting: Surreptitiously passing gas while passing through a cube farm (office filled with cubicles) then secretly enjoying the sounds of dismay and disgust.
Blogs of Note
Who Would Jesus Hate? -- described as providing "anecdotal evidence of how religion is on the wrong side of every social issue." Fugetaboutit! -- hilarious site from a "48-year-old shrinking Italian comedian ." Take the tagline for instance: "I saw the face of Jesus in my lasagna ... briefly."
