'Have opinion...will travel...


So, I used the phrase ‘Hollywood bullshit’ in a phone hook up yesterday with some anal executive types when asked to give my opinion on their latest grand scheme for something.

I’ve always felt dead silence is fun in a meeting.


Don’t ask because I will tell.

Shut-upped-ness…



I got a phone call this arvo at work from a colleague in New Zealand. He was laughing. I queried why and he said ‘You sure shut them up.’ Yes. I did. It was about a meeting of me and just 6 men. While all trying to prove they had balls (the jury is still out on that) these men were trying to yell each other down. Having had more than an adequate sufficiently, I told them to ‘Shut the fuck up.’ It’s a very effective move when said quietly yet with meaning. No really. Try it. After they were stunned into quiet, I explained what should be done and how. They agreed. I swear to god, do not interrupt my writing time with meaningless meeting bullshit or I will invoke the power of shut-upped-ness. And let’s be honest here, real men who have nothing to prove don’t get into petty fights do they?

Lick it...



So, I was sitting in a meeting today while a bunch of men crapped on about some boring twaddle and someone said something along the lines ‘ well, we can lick that’ assumingly meaning being able to beat a problem or something. I don’t know. I really wasn’t listening. I don’t  bring my ‘listening ears’ to work. I heard a 4 year old kid say that once. Good one, kid. But, when the word 'lick' came up I started to giggle as I recalled something completely inappropriate - and therefore excellent - a good friend said to me about licking. Yes, it was very naughty, terribly wrong, delightfully funny and in no way did it fit the situation I was in.That’s why I started laughing. 

'Just love inappropriate friends...
