Speaking in Shorthand

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

I come from Scotland where the communication is simple.    

It is business “jargon” I find so frustrating.  What is this “added value”? - used as an adjective I find particularly unusual.  Do I have to use my own vocal repertiore which might include “performance enhancement”, no “blobs” (inert employees) and in a great “customer surround” (environment to buy or sell)?  I had to buy a book to understand this new vocabulary -  Shoot the Puppy by Tony Thorne. It is excellent.   

 So I am off to knife and fork it as far as this blogette goes and feed the rat by going to see a few billies!    Let’s keep life simple.
