Office Lingo: DECODED
Let's take that off-line: SHUT UP!
Low hanging fruit: easy crap
Re-structuring: your ass is getting fired
Sensitivity training: we know everyone never really grows up and the subject matter of a particular facet of our business will be a generous source of dirty jokes so we have to attempt to remind our workforce to pretend to be mature.
Team building: seeing your colleagues in their gross sneakers
Taking it to the next level: doing the same nonsense that you did before and hyping it up to sound really important
Face Time: when someone checks their email, manages their personal finance, bids on some stuff on ebay, prices trips they're not taking any time soon, googles a new flame and IM's with all their foolish friends doing the same thing at either absurdly early or late hours to look really devoted and serious
Same Net-Net: a response delivered when your idea or comment contributed nothing
Associate (TITLE): You've just been given extra work for which you are not being paid
Now we're cookin' with gas: A really, really, REALLY LAME way of saying good job
Opportunities for Development: areas that you suck at

Traits Common amongst Annoying People
These are not hard and fast rules but I have observed that several of these traits seem to co-exist in an annoying person. If you identify with some of these you might be a little annoying. Sorry.
- Fantasizing about the number of attendees at your funeral if you were to suddenly die
- Getting pissed way too easily (i.e. shouting at airline personnel because a flight is delayed. This is a dumb and annoying thing to do and will not change the outcome.)
- Asking for praise before anyone has had a chance to give it to you
- Having hair that looks perpetually wet
- Asking large amounts of rhetorical questions ("How can you eat that!?)
- Breathing loudly
- Sneezing loudly
- Driving recklessly in efforts to look cool/impress a chick
- Being OCD about organic foods. If you're open to oral sex, you can stomach a pesticide here and there.
- Telling people they look tired
- Walking funny (this excludes those with disabilities of course)
- Having too many stories that seem to almost bring you to tears that you're willing to share with just about anyone.
- Nose breath
- Buying into conspiracy theories...like, always ("the govt has a cure for cancer")
- Touching the bellies of pregnant women whom you barely know

Awesome Quotes-Updated
I have had a lapse in creativity as of late. Fortunately over the years the people around me have said some really ridiculous things. Here's a few things various people in my life have said:
I love drawing dicks
Darn these plastic things
Who's gonna be the next hot mess I'm gonna date?
Assholes ruin lives
I can't picture myself making love to another woman
For as long as I have a face you will have a place to sit
Why's the peanut butter on the floor?
C'mon Dan, we've got birds in the car
Don't ask me! I date homeless people
You'll be too bored to cry
Last time I went on a free trip I got raped in a laundry room
They [boobs] must have grown steadily each day we've been apart
That girl gives good blowdryers
No vogue-ing and driving
Is butter a carb?
That girl is 10 minutes away from being fat
That's impossible...I know every adult gorilla in this country
There's 6 billion people on this planet...can't you go spend some time with them!?
I love Miss Piggy...she's just so glamorous!
Fine! I'll sleep downstairs and get robbed!
It was the only time I ever laughed and jerked off at the same time
[At the DMV] This ain't no modeling agency!
[looking at a pigeon] Oh look a chicken...quack quack!
I've never had sex with a fat person...have I?
He smelled like a sneeze
I'm so cold I'm gonna light myself on fire
Holy sh*t! There's not even a fat one to ruin it!
Who has dusty holes?
I wish he would jump into a garbage can and light it on fire
I'm the king of caulk!
Y'all are real regular
I'm hung like a field mouse
Oh grooming is really important...if you have lice, you're in big trouble
