Circadian Shift

Well, the search engine hits are just a-rollin' in, thanks to my post which mentions Deloitte Consulting's 'Bullfighter' software. Guess we hit a nerve.

For those of you who would enjoy more of the same, a bit of Googling helped me scare up the following linkage:

• The Web Economy Bullshit Generator -- destined to become a classic of our age
• Despair.com -- I have an severe aversion to the words of Aristotle, thanks to one parasitic waste-of-space team leader who used to crib slogans out of the Successories catalogue, put them up on other people's cube walls (not his own), and think that this behaviour passed for "leadership"; Despair.com is the antidote
• buzzword bingo is another classic of our age; some related links:
  • BetterWorkplaceNow's bingo card generator
  • another bingo card generator that comes in regular Business, eBusiness, and WiReD flavours; the roll-your-own generator seems to be out of commission
  • The Word Spy's entry on 'buzzword bingo' -- in general, The Word Spy is a handy resource for sniffing out new jargon
  • a Wiki entry on the origins and variations of 'buzzword bingo'; also check out the related Wiki entries about 'alarm bell phrases' and 'killer phrases'
• Rhymer.net's page of business jargon and buzzwords
• an entire site dedicated to Corporate Babble
• and, lastly, this very neat looking site that I've never seen before called The Corporate Asylum

For those of you presently reading this while at your office, now would be a good time to get back to work.
