bullshit bingo

smell that ... its bullshit

holy calamity scream insanity ….. i hate working in the office.

the BULLSHIT that goes on, the negativity, the games – i am so over it that i am working from home 99% of the time.
i’ve found a game to play however, and if i add gin into the mix, it will get me through the day. Heres some of the classics I can remember and what the people uttering them are really telling me

A game that can be played in large meetings
The players write down management-nonsense word like;
- Over the line
  - Work my ass off so you can take the credit
- Thinking outside the box
  - Cheap, dirty and my problem if its fucked
- Work life balance
  - “Dont stress at me cos I am getting you to work 22 hours a day”
- Watch this space
  - “I have no fucking clue cos I only listen to myself”
- Taking ownership
  - “Again I have no fucking clue so you sort it out and then tell me when I can claim credit”
- Eating our own dogfood
  - WTF!!! This one gets me everytime … its like “use the products you make and tell everyone how great they are .. but not how great they could be if we gave you the right amount of time and money to get them right, not just over the line”
- On the same page
  - “Are you listening to me or just drawing doodles of me with my head chopped off?”
- The big picture
  - Some foreign concept that some foreign CEO of our huge company had whilst he was taking a dump
- I hear what you say
  - …. but I’m not agreeing with you or actually listening to what you are saying cos I was too busy thinking about what to say next
- The Silver Bullet etc. in a 5 x 5 square bingo card.
If a word or phrase is used during the meeting you check the box.
When you get a five box line (horizontally, vertically or diagonally ) you shout “BULLSHIT!” and win.
