I’m pretty sure Anna never used to steal her articles directly from another
site. And especially not the BBC. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7457287.stm
A very sad day indeed.

The article came about due to a conversation at the office about
“Helicopter view” and how it has replaced “Birds eye view” for no apparant
reason. During the conversation the BBC article was highlighted (nice
coincidence) so I did use the BBC article as the basis but it’s been editted
into the list shown.
Yes, my bad, I should have included a link to the original BBC article
when I originally wrote it but it slipped my mind to do this. I’ll update
the article to include it.

The one that really annoys me is when people talk about “over arching
strategies”. They always finish the sentence with a smug look which suggests
that they are thinking “strategically” and you are “still in the box”.

“Don’t bring me problems. Bring me solutions” (University Principal, every
meeting from 2006 to date). To which the answer was given (by me) ‘I’m not
paid enough to do your job as well.’

I think “Challenge” is OK but I guess they mix it will all the other
jargon.

These didn’t come straight from the BBC News site did they?

My favourites: “Game On!”, and the perennial “blue-sky thinking”.
So much of this (e.g. ‘from the get-go’) is just tired old American imports
which sound superficially cutting-edge and relevant.
