AARP LARPer: Feb 19, 2005; THE DARK SIDE OF SCIENCE BREEDS A WEAPON OF WAR; Buglord

I cringe at all the corporate buzzwords used by everyone in an office environment. You'd think you were working in some crypto-military situation room.

* Do you have enough bandwidth for this project?
* Let me circle back to you later.
* Fire off a memo.
* Shoot me an email.
* Ping me after your meeting.
* I can't get to it, I'm putting out a fire here.
* Put it on the front burner.
* I had to fall on my sword on that one.
* Keep the project on your radar.
* We need to circle the wagons.

God, there are hundreds of these stupid phrases.

And we have war rooms. War rooms. It's just a place we store boxes of related documenst. loving war room!
