I just got back from a two-hour introductory seminar on project management. Normally this wouldn’t be something worth bloggin about but the presenter had a unique “command” of the English language. Here’s some of the more choice items I was able to write down:
turbulations
This person was very value add to the project
soft copy of the data
That person put th “uck” in suck
work packages
critical path
change management process
O.k. the last three are actual project management terminology but I still find them amusing.

I get the last three relatively often around here, but the other ones are making me want to take a red Sharpie to the presenter’s brain.
