July 20, 2009

Reflect on your latest performance review experience: Have you ever written buzzword laden prose such as “demonstrates customer focused leadership behaviors that consistently provide on-time delivery with high customer satisfaction”?

I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
