RANDOM LINGO
Aha! Moment
(1). The instant at which your boss realizes the wisdom of what you’re telling him, followed shortly thereafter by the instant when he decides to take credit for it himself.
“I think Dan had a bit of an Aha! moment during our call today after Tom pointed out that promoting your secretary to vice president in exchange for sex is generally frowned upon by our regulators.”
Burning The Midnight Oil
(1). A term that can be taken in two very different ways. On one hand, you are the rockstar employee who works late often to better the firms footprint within your industry. On the other hand, you are that kiss-ass employee who works late often because you don’t have kids, friends, or anything worthwhile going on, which alienates your co-workers. Work is great.
Boss – “Hey Matt, great to see that even on a Friday night you’re still here working and burning the midnight oil, thanks for all your hard work.”
Everyone Else in the Office – “Matt is such a dick.”
