The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Here's some vocabulary to cheer you up this morning:
Blamestorming:
Sitting around in a group discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed and who was responsible.
Chainsaw Consultant:
An outside expert brought in to reduce the employee head count, leaving the brass with clean hands.
CLM:
Career Limiting Move - Used among microserfs to describe ill-advised activity. Trashing your boss while he or she is within earshot is a serious CLM. (Also known as CLB - Career Limiting Behavior)
Adminisphere:
The rarefied organizational layers beginning just above the rank and file. Decisions that fall from the adminisphere are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve.
Flight Risk:
Used to describe employees who are suspected of planning to leave the company or department soon.
404:
Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404 Not Found," meaning that the requested document could not be located. "Don't bother asking him . . . he's 404, dude."
Ohnosecond:
That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake.
Percussive Maintenance:
The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.
Prairie Dogging:
When someone yells or drops something loudly in a "cube farm" (an office full of cubicles) and everyone's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on.
Assmosis:
The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement by kissing up to the boss.

Yep, that's how long it took me to realise I had just sent out the daily report that goes to many higher level managers and the like, without attaching the relevant files.
D'oh!
