(1). See ping.
Also, a musing: “This one makes no sense. In baseball, two runners can’t occupy the same base. And the infielder is on the other team. So who are we touching base with?”
Props to Mike R. for the submission.

RANDOM LINGO
My Calendar's Up-To-Date
(1). A not-so-subtle way to tell someone to stop asking if you’re available for a “quick call”.

Hoteling
(1). The ridiculous corporate practice of punishing your employees by assigning them a new desk each day. One day, you’re sitting next to the hot babe from HR, and the next, it’s Earl from Data Management Tech who likes to sing along to the soft rock station he’s streaming on his Toughbook.
“So, our company started hoteling last month. It’s supposed to foster the exchange of ideas across different areas of the firm. The only problem is – all we talk about is how much we hate hoteling.”
