why is it that people need to use the phrase "think outside the box." or "raise the bar" for that matter. the "think outside the box" phrase in particular has been so over used that if you use it you are not actually "thinking outside the box." what makes it worse is that around here, it is said by management who have no managerial training...just science training. what's my point? i've got nothing...

suffered hard last night on the bike. my toes froze, the bike bath had a bunch of foot traffic that had frozen so it was hard not to fall. plus my main light only lasted me 5 minutes (when it's below 30 my battery is a pile of crap). i will remember these types of rides in september when i'm racing.

i'm sending off another proposal today...it's getting close to crunch time.

my last in a series of dental appts is today as well. finish the crown and fill a couple of cavities. both sides of my mouth will be numb...sounds like great fun. but i'm on the road to healthy teeth again, and it all happened at a good time of the year.

I agree with you on these "corporate phrases" that everyone likes to throw around, they are so dumb, and overplayed.
But there is one that I hate above all the others......."I need to touch base with you"
WTF sense does that make? We're not touching any bases! Was "let's talk" so hard to say, that we needed to replace it with a catchy baseball like phrase. If we are going that route, in basebal two people on the same team would never touch the same base anyway, just you and the enemy to put you out. It still makes no sense. I never use the phrase, and when other people say it to me, I give them a gentle tongue lashing.
