I'm spending this summer working in an office. The work is good, but some of the business speech is growing old.

"Good use of our time."

Overuse of the word "conversation."

"Let's be proactive."

"Slice into that"

"Drill down into that"

"Back of the envelope"

Emails that start with the word "Team" to speak to the group as a whole. Can't stand that. We aren't no damn team. We're only a collection of individuals here to earn some cash and hopefully retire someday with our sanity in check.
