OFFICE VOCABULARY

Here's a few translations from your boss...

"Could you check this out...?" = "I'm too lazy to follow up on this, could you do it for me?"

"It's not your fault." = "It's my fault, but I'm too scared to say it."

"Let's have a meeting about it." = "I'm out of ideas and figured we could just waste some time this afternoon."

For some more useful office vocabulary, check out this page. It's got a list of office phrases, tips on how to succeed as an executive, and some other stuff. And there's even bowel-related humor (Robo-Dave, I'm looking your way here). Some of it's funny, some not so, but you can find your way around - through the sea of advertisements.
