(1). A no-brainer.
“So, Andy, what your saying is … if we set the heat in the office at 50 all the time, we can save thousands of dollars of overhead? Sounds like a blink decision to me.”
Blink Decision
RANDOM LINGO
Train Neighbor
(1). Your new best friend at 6am that loves to:
– Tell you about their grandchildren.
– Where they’re “headin”.
– What they ate for breakfast.
– Their medical problems.
– Fall asleep on you.
– Ask you if this is the train to Penn.
– Tell you about the “big” project they’re working on.
– Make a phone call that you, and all the other riders, unwillingly participate in.
– Talk about Obama.
“Hey buddy, mind if I sit next to ya? Guess we’re train neighbors for the morning. I’ll try not to get up to use the bathroom too much, my granddaughter always does, she’s great. I’m headin’ to New Jersey, gotta take the Amtrak. This is the train to Penn right? Had an omelet for breakfast, that probably wasn’t a good idea. Got a big meeting today for this project I’ve been working on for the last year. Man I’m tired. Oh, hold on, I gotta take this call. Hi Barry. HI BARRY, I DON’T HAVE GREAT RECEPTION, I’M ON THE TRAIN. NO, IT’S NOT A QUIET CAR. CRAZY ABOUT THIS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, RIGHT?”
PPM
(1). “Policies and Procedures Manual”; or in other words, an endless document no one reads that outlines a bunch of rules no one follows.
“Okay, guys, so we’re rolling out the new PPM for check presentments this week. I’d like everyone to read through it and let me know if you have any questions. It’s only 247 pages, so it shouldn’t take you more than a weekend.”
