(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)
I work in a factory and was just handed a shop order today that is a “rush” and set to be due tomorrow. The paperwork is handed to me before the product goes out to be coated so it’s at least 2 weeks before I even see it to work on it…
Gotta love being set up for failure…
