29. I published a four-page newsletter
Sun May 10, 2026, 01:27 PM
Yesterday

On "buzzspeak" at a corporation for which I worked. There were around 100 people at the regional office of this giant corporation which you've all McHeard of, and we had this giant copy machine which kicked out the copies in seconds. Rarely got jammed. I wrote it in my spare time (hah!) and secretly distributed it to every desk in the office at night, after everyone had gone home.

My subtitle to "Buzzspeak" was "all the corporate lingo you need to know!" It was full of trite sayings like "outside the box" and "face time." Articles on how to use them and "upcoming buzzwords you'll want to use!"

It was satiric, needless to say.

However, people thought it was real. Imagine me on the elevator, listening to people seriously talk about my articles. I could barely disguise my smirk.

p.s. if only I'd had the buzz phrase generator!!
