Some Site Info

Hello Dear Reader

I have been posting to this version of Jabbering All day Long for over six months now and I have decided to become a bit more organised in relation to my posts. This is primarily to help me but may help you.

I am going to aim [that is the operative word here] to make posts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday if something comes along that can’t wait then I will post that directly. Posts will go out at 13:00 on the above dates.

That being said like any blog Content is usually the issue so if there are any topics you would like to see covered tackled broached on Jabbering all day long or if you would like to write a piece about something you want promoting (maybe a fundraiser) then please use the contact me page or if you know my e-mail direct then use that.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my blog and please I love to hear from my readers so please comment.

Hello Dear Reader

The Hand that is offered

Well I have completed my scouting expedition to Germany, more to follow on that shortly.

but I thought I would make a quick post to say Hi and how the devil are you all.

I also need to offer my deepest apologies to Ben from Atomic Apple who I said I would post a little something to for being the only person to enter the quiz. You are on my to-do list and I will post it to you at the weekend.

Well that is about it for now talk soon

Management Speak

Hello Dear Reader

It is very likely you have seen these before but I came across them again and they are still funny.

404

Someone who’s clueless. From the World Wide Web error message “404 Not Found,” meaning that the requested document could not be located.

ADMINISPHERE

The rarefied organisational 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.

ASSMOSIS

The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.

BLAMESTORMING

Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.

CUBE FARM

An office filled with cubicles.

MOUSE POTATO

The on-line, wired generation’s answer to the couch potato.

OHNOSECOND

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

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE

The fine art of whacking the cr@p out of an electronic device to get it to work again.

PRAIRIE DOGGING

When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and people’s heads pop up over the walls to see that’s going on. (This also applies to applause from a promotion because there may be cake.)

SALMON DAY

The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die.

SEAGULL MANAGER

A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, cr@ps on everything, and then leaves.

SITCOMs

Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with the kids or start a “home business”.

STRESS PUPPY

A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiny.

TESTICULATING

Waving your arms around and talking b*llocks

GENERAL COLIN POWELL’S RULES

Posted on 5 January, 2010 by Kiff

I am not normally one for mass forwards but these rules just seem to make good sense.

You don’t expect a politician to make sense but I guess every now and then one slips through the net

General Colin Powell’s Rules

It ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.
Get mad, then get over it.
Avoid having your ego so close to your position that, when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
It can be done!
Be careful what you choose, you may get it.
Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.
You can’t make someone else’s choices. You shouldn’t let someone else make yours.
Check small things.
Share credit.
Remain calm. Be kind.
Have a vision. Be demanding.
Don’t take counsel of your fears or naysayers.
Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
