    No can't find it but I've got this instead - essential words for the work place environment

    testiculating - waving your arms around and talking B*ll*cks

    blamestorming - sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed and exactly who was responsible

    seagull manager - a manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything and then leaves

    assmosis - the process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement, by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard

    salmon day - the experience of spending the whole day swimming up stream only to get screwed and die

    cube farm - an office filled with cubicles

    prairie dogging - when someone yells or drops something in a cube farm and people's heads pop up above the walls to see what’s going on. Also applies to applause for a promotion because there might be cake.

    crop dusting - surreptitiously farting while passing through a cube farm, then enjoying the ensuing sounds of dismay and disgust. Usually leads to prairie dogging

    stress puppy - a person who thrives on being stressed out and whining all the time

    xerox subsidy - euphemism for nicking free copies 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 rarefied organisational layer 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 to the dreaded administrivia - needless paperwork and processes

    ohnosecond - that miniscule moment in time when you realise that you've just made a BIG mistake and there's nothing at all you can do about it

    Need to take a helicopter view of that ... (see the bigger picture)

    Aim for the low hanging fruit first ..

    We're not swimming in the same think tank ...

    Give it a run up the flag pole and see if it flutters ...

    Sadly, they jumped into my mind in less than 10 seconds as they are all genuine ones used at our place ... honestly ... you could f'king weep ...
