In an effort to narrow the generation gap and keep current
with the
latest linquistic trends, I pass these along as a public
service
announcement.

GENERATION X AND THEIR OFFICE LINGO
   -----------------------------------
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 - something loud happens in a cube farm, and
people's
heads pop up over the walls to see what's going  on.

Idea hamsters - people who always seem to have their idea
generators
running .

Mouse potato - the on-line generation's answer to the couch
potato.

Ohnosecond - that minuscule fraction of time in which you
realize
you've just made a big mistake.

SITCOM - stands for Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive
Mortgage.

Stress puppy - a person who thrives on being stressed-out
and whiny.

Tourists - those who take training classes just to take a
vacation
from their jobs -- "We had three serious students in the
class; the
rest were tourists."

Chainsaw consultant - an outside expert brought in to reduce
the
employee headcount, leaving the top brass with clean hands

404 - someone who is clueless, from the World Wide Web error
message
"404 Not Found", meaning the requested document couldn't be
located --
Don't bother asking him, he's 404.

Elvis year - the peak year of something's
popularity --Barney the
dinosaur's Elvis year was 1993.
