Certain phrases or words genuinely annoy me. Here's a test: try getting through a day without hearing or seeing the word "awesome." You can't do it. I've tried. In the workplace, various buzzwords and phrases come and go. We don't hear much about Quality Circles anymore. So 80's. A phrase that is currently bandied about is to "reach out" to someone. It's not enough to call, email or even contact someone. You must reach out to them. Frankly, whenever I hear that phrase, my first thought is Carrie in graveyard. Happy Halloween to all.
