CUBE FARM: An office filled with cubicles.



PRAIRIE DOGGING: When someone yells or drops something

Loudly in a cube farm, and people's heads pop up over

The walls to see what's going on. (now thats funny but true)



MOUSE POTATO: The on-line, wired generation's answer

To the couch potato.(I am not wired thank you very much)

SITCOMs: Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage.

What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them

Stops working to stay home with the kids.



STRESS PUPPY: A person who seems to thrive on being stressed

Out and whiney. (that's what I am saying!!!)



SWIPEOUT: An ATM or credit card that has been rendered useless

Because the magnetic strip is worn away from extensive use.

Annoying but you find yourself unable to stop watching them.



PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE: The fine art of whacking the crap

Out of an electronic device to get it to work again.

Beginning just above the rank and file. Decisions that

Fall from the adminisphere are often profoundly

Inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were

Designed to solve. (AMEN)
