People in meetings are always telling you that they are “conscious of time” as if that makes them special.

I’m conscious of time *and* space *and* smells, mate, but I don’t go on about it, and you should consider yourself lucky about that last one.

@Nickiquote and starting meetings saying "without further ado"

Why are you talking like that? You are a middle manager from New Jersey not a Victorian theatrical impresario

@blueorangeblue I’ve noticed that sometimes people adopt a kind of ironic Victorian speak. In particular one boss I had was always misusing the term “my erstwhile colleagues” for people who are current colleagues, and it hurt my brain not to correct him.
