time to enrich our corporate vocabulary:

Blamestorming: Sitting around in a group discussing why
a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was
responsible.

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.

Tourists: People who take training classes just to get a
vacation from their jobs. As in, "We had three serious students
in the class; the rest were just tourists."

Uninstalled: Euphemism for being fired.

&#133and for those of you responsible for the dilution of our company stock value (not to mention the making the copy machine seem like a bottomless hole where toner goes).

Xerox Subsidy: Euphemism for swiping free photocopies from
one's workplace.
