Some random observations about the way we talk in the office:

 I often hear marketing managers say, “well is this ad final final?” I didn’t realize there are degrees of final.

And corporations have more alignment issues than your local car dealership.

And Powerpoint presenters who use 4 point type on their data-intensive slides think they receive a free pass simply by saying: “sorry, this is an eye chart.” No, an eye chart would mean that my eyes could actually SEE the data.

Enjoy your day.

I love to watch the quest office workers take to extend their weekends, especially those around a holiday. These plans are very meticulously laid out by the “general” in charge, outlining the battle strategy and the steps needed for victory. And the plan must be fully announced, as if yelled from one of those gigantic Viking horns. 

See if you recognize this scene played out in offices nationwide on Thursday…

 ”I am taking Friday off, THEREFORE I GET A 4-DAY WEEKEND!” This cat is thinking “I am clearly quite a bit smarter than the rest of you stuck with the more traditional 3-day weekend”. And you can rest assured he will come in Tuesday morning saying how hard it will be to get back in the swing of things because the “conquest” was so amazing and that extra day he had made all the difference in the world.

Anyway, no matter how long your holiday weekend was, I hope it was a good one.
