Business Blogging

I'm always on the lookout for new business buzzwords. The Business Pundit has invented one of his own:

Who needs buzzwords for that? People muddy or cover up what they are actually saying using plain old English all the time. In honor of this article, I'm coining a new term - INABATIBS. It means "I Need A Beer And This Is Bulls#!t." So next time you are in a boring meeting, just tell them you need to go work on the Inabatibs project.

Do you work in a voice (phone) driven or email driven organization? Like me, the Window Manager works in an email driven business:

I've found that once you are in an email driven organization, there is something of a competitive advantage to reading and writing email at odd hours, weekends and holidays. For example, just because it is Memorial Day in the U.S. doesn't mean it's a holiday in Japan. So if you respond to emails while others in your organization are out camping, you get to drive the agenda. By the time your organizational competition has put their Coleman lanterns away, you've set the terms and conditions and have a lock on the deal.
