another journalist uses the phrase 'perfect storm' to describe a confluence of amplifying factors I'm going to break something electronic containing speakers.

I agree. The next time I hear that phrase, I hopes it's from someone saying "hey, do you want to watch that Clooney(sp?) movie where the fishing boat gets stuck in a storm, what's it called?"
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself.

People who refer to shitty movies as opposed to the literature they were adapted from them should be crucified.

like this economic/financial mess is not a perfect storm or once in a century problem. It was very clear and stupid overspending

I don't bitch about the movies, just when people don't realize the source material came first. Like fight club, which was a servicable movie but this dumb bitch who saw the book on my shelf asked why I bought novelizations of movies. Mark Walbergs great.

"Ground zero" is one that got old fast, when used not in relation to the 9/11 site. Actually, even when it was used for the 9/11 site.
For example, "I'm down here at the cookie dough factory where the cookie dough making machine went on the blitz and spewed cookie dough all over the factory workers. Standing at ground zero, it sure is a doughy mess! *wink to the camera*" The other one that gets me is politicians and officials starting sentences with the word "Look". What it tells me is that they are about to make some off-the-wall claim, or a line of bullshit, or they have no clue what they are talking about, but they think if they prefix their statement with a commanding word like "Look", then the listener will think there must be some truth to it or the statement is more important than it really is. It also gets to me because when speaking to a person, they should be using the word "listen". Them saying "look" to a listener is like the old joke with two guys in the woods, "Listen! Did you smell that?"

Has anyone noticed "optics" died a few years ago but has re-emerged? I don't like that one either.

Everyone please stay away from the word "SYNERGY" in the work place. Synergy comes with a empty box for all your shit.
By the way Perfect Storm was definitely a great book. Rarly do you read something with such technical detail that keeps you plastered to the story. Good stuff. Movie was meh...

I thought there was a good synergy between the book and the movie whereby they really enhanced the over-all value prop of the dynamic between the two. Speaking of, I would like to add "value prop" the the list. Is it really that hard to say the -osition in proposition?

If we are moving on to the workplace, I'll throw "super" into the mix. Nothing like going to a meeting and hearing "our leader" say, "We've got a really super project up ahead of us! And we have such a super team working on it! I'm super, super excited about everything!"
People who use "super" as their only descriptor makes me want to kick them in the mouth. A super kick to the mouth.

I think we're pulling out some key take-aways from this talk. I'll write it all up and then we can do a SWOT analysis with it. Before that, we may want to brain storm a little and make sure we're not missing any of the key drivers to this whole process. I really want to drive continuous process improvement. In the end, we all really just exist here to support our customers and I want to get our point gaurds out front and have them be customer-facing with a good value prop. Any synergies I'm missing? I mean the optics of all this need to be managed yet at the same time we need to drive the vision forward while we get a tiger team together to address those hot issues.

We should definitely put together a daily scrum until we get this thread sorted out. The date of our thread's post mortem is TBD until we get this launched. Dustie's action item list is a super takeaway from this meeting.
I'm super excited about this project! Everyone is doing a super job! Keep up the super work! Have a super weekend!

Griz, Good call on action items!

We to set obtainable milestones. Remember if you cant measure it, you cant manage it. Lets all get together and do some Knowledge share and use the best practices. Repeatable success and the bottom line is what its all about. Lets pull up our trousers and look for synergies so we can have a pleasant RIF.
