You are guilty. No Doubt we all are. But, it is still funny when AOL recently complied a list of the 10 things to never say at work. In true Casey Kasem style we're counting them down, and I'm adding my own thoughts.
10. Urgent or Crisis: My take: unless you work with nuclear weapons when is the last time you truly faced a crisis?
9. Past history: Can you have history that isn't in the past?
8. Quite unique: It either is unique or not. Usually not.
7. I, personally: No You, personally. OK done with the redundant section.
6. Drill down: Are you in the Gulf of Mexico looking for oil.
5. The ball's in your court: This one just makes you sound stupid. No way around it.
4. It's not rocket science: Well, that makes everything easier
3. Sweat equity: Not even sure what this was ever supposed to mean, but it has been so abused it is laughable.
2. Throw it against the wall and see what sticks: The only thing that really sticks usually leaves a stain.
1. Pick your brain: Picking anything at work.. generally a bad idea.
