I stayed up late last night worried about some of the decisions that have been tossed down from those who write me paychecks. The stress of a three hour meeting has lasted til this morning. At times like these, I like to visit sites such as Buzzwhack.com so I can identify, categorize and otherwise find language that might better help me understand the current phenomenon.
Here are my two favorites terms for today:
Adminisphere: “The upper levels of management where big, impractical, and counterproductive decisions are made.”
Deja Poo: “The feeling that you’ve stepped in this bull before.”
When these two things are happening, one could end up the victim of “blamestorming” which is defined as, “A group process where participants analyze a failed project and look for scapegoats other than themselves.” And that will likely happen in the “Adminisphere”.
There, I feel better already. It’s a warm day and the sun is shining and now that I have some labels that made me giggle, perhaps I can shake it off and move on. I don’t have to understand. But I will remain amazed. I still don’t understand why horses will fight furiously to return to a burning barn. But it will always amaze me.
