"Iterative loop of improvement" |
|
This drivel just came pouring out of my mouth in an involuntary spasm of corporatespeak. I'm consumed in self-loathing. x(
Warning: This is what can happen if you spend a few decades in the business world.
Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa. :cry:

I had to check out this thread because it sounded from the title like there had been some mathematical breakthrough in quantum mechanics or something.

I just went on a job interview (probably didn't get the job - I saw the 'thanks for playing' look in the interviewer's face) and I was spouting the damnedest drivel - functionalities, process and the like. I was amazed my mouth could form these words. I'm gonna have to home and read William Burroughs until I feel clean. The thing about corporate speak is is sounds pretty much the same back-wards as forward doesn't it. Improvement of loop iterative sounds about the same yes?
Hang in there - it's always darkest before it goes pitch black. :grouphug:

It has been rough. I've been looking since January and I begin to fear that I am going to be temping and doing interviews for the rest of my life. Not a prospect that fills one with good feelings and optimism.
If it wasn't for my cynical nihilism, I wouldn't believe in anything.

"fortunately I've been keeping my brain limber by doing drugs."
It is impossible for an optimist to be pleasantly surprised.

"Iterative loop of improvement" sounds like something from an employee evaluation form. Cheer up. After several decades in the business world I lost the ability to write in the active voice. Mistakes were made. The protocol was executed. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

My lovely brain: so witty and full of life in college, now a dried out husk of a shadow of its former self. :cry:

I've actually heard that phrase before, but thankfully I've never uttered it.
