Let's blamestorm!

Someone once told me 'there's a lot to be said for routine.' I think he's right.

It must have been a slow news day for MSNBC as a list of annoying jargon topped the usiness news homepage. I'm cured of saying 'let's touch base'. 'Blamestorming' sounds hysterical. I'll admit that seems to be priority at my workplace. But they overlooked two of my most loathed workplace comments:

  • "Is it do-able?" ~ 'Do-able' Is that even a word?! 'Cause I hate it.
  • "I appreciate all you do." ~ Yeah, right. I get 'paid' for all I do so I don't give a tinker's d@mn as to whether or not you appreciate it. Let's all be honest; peg this one at the most overused and ungenuine comment you can make as a leader/manager/teammate/archnemisis.
