What’s a word or phrase that annoys you? – The daily prompt starts this Friday with a negative thought.

The term Work/Life Balance is a joke. Very few of us can ever achieve that.

Another one is Do What You Love. Another dream that few of us can pull off. I did a post recently with that and it was in the context of doing something else my entire life and now just getting the chance in my last years of life to do what I love. A lot of people don’t even get that opportunity.

There was a phrase at work that used to piss me off that management would use. Guarantee this problem never appears or happens again. The only guarantee in life is that you are born, and you will die.

People using the term Fake News in defending untrue positions.

The word MAYBE. Just give me a yes or no.

Another annoying phrase that comes to mind is MAGA. We will be decades making this country great again after the damage 47 has done.

The words HR (human resources) Is Here for You. HR is there to protect the company primarily.

And the last one, I Did My Best. I’ve tried never to say that, to me it means I gave up at some point. Instead, I would explain to the end of the earth my logic and actions. And most of the time someone else would say You Did Your Best or You Gave It Your Best Effort. Usually when people with more knowledge see that they would share more important information or skills.

In my later years at work when I was the one sharing knowledge, I got questioned why I was working more with some people than others and my reply was they showed effort and or initiative.

Okay, this exercise has been good. I thought it would annoy me even more recalling things like this, but I can move on not to more positive thoughts and actions.
