BLAMESTORMING.
Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a
project failed, and 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 an entire day swimming upstream only to get
screwed and die.
CUBE FARM.
An office filled with cubicles.
PRAIRIE DOGGING.
When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and
people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on.
(This also applies to applause from a promotion because there may be
cake.)
MOUSE POTATO.
The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch potato.
SITCOMs.
Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage.

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE.
The fine art of whacking the crap 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.
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.

That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that
you've just made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit 'reply all').

Surreptitiously farting while passing through a cube farm, then
enjoying the sounds of dismay and disgust.
Leads to PRAIRIE DOGGING
