Annoying Office Jargon - Part III

Welcome to 2021

Was it a Covid thing?

An incorrect estimate was sent out to and it was queried by our customers over in the Schtates. According to the email response it appears that the inaccurate estimate was due to an erogenous posting. I’m quite confident that the sender hasn’t a breeze what erogenous means but at least they spelt it right.

“This seems like the opening salvo in a nuclear arms race & now they’re after firing their first missile.”

That seems a bit garbled. Have they actually launched a nuke or just a regular missile (but with the potential of things escalating to nukes being fired)?

We in an enforcement scenario here? Somebody not paying the dosh back?

I sometimes imagine that you work on the set of star trek.

That’s a good one in fairness; I’ve been making serious royalties off that.

Just the right amount of incomprehensible bullshit.

Head winds are never good.

Any Derek McGrath material in that session?

Project Castle took care of much of the chaff at central services. Just a matter of tacking our way through the headwinds by using different Springboard tools.

The Brits are so full of shit and up their own holes. “as a reward for long service, there will be £100 for ten years, £150 for fifteen etc etc…” Eh, some of us don’t use GBP, pal.
