#12 Funny Facebook Quotes

Just to give you all a bit of context on this post...

I usually check Facebook daily and as being a graduate the news feed is almost always full of status' reading 'Jenny is feeling terrible today after a mental night last night' or 'John thinks that chilling on the beach is the best thing ever'. All of which remind you that sitting at a desk in sunny South Wales is not nearly exciting enough to warrant a Facebook update.

But every once in a while you see a post that makes you smile, and I don't mean 'Terry woke up this morning with one shoe', I mean one like the one below, simple humour that brings a smile to your face every time you think about it.

Take my mate Kams post, written in the native language of Sri Lanka, clearly meant for friends who also speak the lingo. However my mate Si thought he would add his own humourous comment...


Makes me laugh every time I see it! Let me know if you have any of your own or if you like this one.

#11 Corporate Bullsh*t

This post was inspired after discussing with friends some of the terminology used in companies that we have all worked in. We will all be aware of some of the phrases used within organisations up and down the country, if not worldwide. We all know exactly what they mean, and we cringe as we here senior managers shamelessly band these terms and phrases about the office. So here is my list of some of the worst that I have compiled along with an example, feel free to add any I have missed!

P.s. Some explanations have been included for the less common ones.

‘Make sure we get our house in order’
‘Get all of our ducks in a row’
‘Singing from the same hymn sheet’
‘We will take this offline’
‘Push back’ (saying no)
‘Put some time in my calendar’
‘Going forward’
‘Low hanging fruit’ (quick wins)
‘Roadmap’
‘Reaching out’
‘Touching base’
‘Town Hall’ (A meeting where one person presents then fields questions)
‘Fireside’ (A meeting with an individual, usually a senior manager, where more informal questions are fielded)
‘FYI’ (said as the abbreviation)
‘SPPY’ (Same point previous year)

Example:

FYI

Paul conducted a fireside which I attended regarding the issue moving forward, we decided it best to take it offline making sure we had sufficient time in our calendars after identifying our results compared to the SPPY. We would like to ensure that all our ducks are in a row and that our house is in order, so that we can all be singing from the same hymn sheet. Paul requested that a road map should be drawn up with all low hanging fruit clearly identified so that we can push back if necessary. Feel free to reach out and touch base with me on this if issue if you need to.
