(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)

    You get used to it. I’ve gotten to that point that a dart to the back of the head, or hitting my monitor doesn’t even make me flinch, and I don’t lose my train of though. I’ll wrap up what I was working on, then fire back.

      Why should I have to get used to it? It’s a job, not a fucking arcade.
