If nothing else the cublice walls focus this onto one spot, directly behind you.  I'd think this would make it worse.  Anywyas, I've been much calmer at work since I installed mirrors.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Also, has anyone noticed the recent wave of "Everyday" in advertising?  

Seeing that does my fucking head in.

If it's directly behind you, then the only workers affected would be the prey species with eyes on the sides of their heads.  There may be something to this, as there is a fellow i work with that does suffer such an ill fated physiognomy, and he is a psychotic asshole.

When people use "Never" as a reaction. ("My brother won an award." "Never.")

The phrase "At the end of the day..."

Conglomerate

Flavourful and Flavoursome.

When they stick the word "solution" after another word as shorthand. "Debt solution" "home office solution" "data management solution"

eco-friendly (it's never mentioned whether they mean ecology or economy)

Here's my new least favorite word:

OFFICLE

in October, our office is being redesigned. Everybody's cubicle is being replaced by an officle. What the fuck is that, you ask? IT'S NOT A CUBICLE, IT'S NOT AN OFFICE! Actually, it IS a cubicle but there's a sliding shower door, and little plastic windows so you can get a nice view of the hall.

"OFFICLE". say it out loud, it'll stick in your throat.  And if anybody hears you say it, they'll smack you upside the head.

First association for me was with "offal".

Everything any politician ever says. I can't point out specific words because they use words that are fine on their own, but somehow when combined in that magical formula that only a politician can concoct, they generate an impenetrable field of bullshit. Every time I hear another UN Security Council "resolution" that not only says nothing at all, but takes 35 pages of fine print to do it, suicide automatically moves up 3 slots on my list of vacation ideas.

Also,

"literally" when you don't really mean it. "I literally shit my pants." I hope not...
"exetra" - No. It's two words. "et cetera." Besides that, it's Latin, which puts it way out of your league: just don't try to use it.
"for real" - Just shut up right fucking now.

And misusing figures of speech and other word combinations:

"use to/suppose to" - No, moron. That doesn't make any sense. It's "used to."
"would/could/should of" - Fuck you. Die. Don't you even think about what you're saying or writing?
"myriad of X" - Myriad already means "a large quantity of." Don't add another of. It makes you look you were home-schooled in Kansas.

If terrorism = things we don't like then, socialism = policies we don't understand?

Socialism = things my boss doesn't like.

Socialism = Policies that don't favor white supremacy?



um, you forgot national socialism.
