Mrs GTD Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 In the past week I have been subjected to "low hanging fruit" and "airplane view" . Sadly the first was delivered by a senior VP of the company and the second by the company's accountants so shouting BINGO wasn't really appropriate... 😔 “May you - work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, dance like no-one's watching, screw like it's being filmed and drink like an Irishman” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTD Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 It's not a burger van any more. It's now a mobile cost centre with specific competences in the niche market of griddled meat conglomerates aligned with deconstructed potato segments which have been subject to carefully evaluated and risk averse heat processes.

Andy O Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 My employers (top half of FTSE 100) recently informed staff that we are no longer allowed to use the phrase brain storm because it might have negative connotations associated with fits.

Barbarella Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 And another thing............ How do you reconcile low-hanging fruit with a high altitude view? I have this horrible digital image in my subconscious of someone sticking their hand through one of those outside awareness portals to retrieve items that were entirely in their blue-sky thinking zone and bringing the whole jet-borne activity to an early immolation..........
