Buzzwords

I am consultant.

I perform enterprise-wide, mission-critical tasks as part of value-added solutions. My life is a jumbled collection of jargon, hyphens, acronyms, buzzwords, boilerplate language and lies.

Last Friday, my computer crashed and our tech department had to "flash" my hard drive, which, of course, reconfigured all of my customized settings. Including my saved MS Word dictionary. So now I have to start from scratch. All of those great neologisms - consultantisms, if you will - are gone. That little red Microsoft "look here, idiot" line is all over my screen. I hate it and wish it not well.

I want my dictionary back.

Quitters Are Winners

I am quitting. Cold Turkey. Not the blog, of course - just one particular aspect of my life. It's not working, it hasn't been working, and, by God, it won't work. So no more for this guy. He is done.

What did I say? I said done!

This is my world, dang it, and you are just living in it. Consider yourself a guest - I suggest you act accordingly. So there.
