bossywork

Bossywork is busywork specifically designed to make your boss look less ignorant about his job. It consists of producing pages of documentation to explain the obvious or prove negatives (the product didn't change, so we don't need new education.) Much of bossywork consists of building slide decks from portions of other slide decks, since no manager can be expected to read more than one deck per day.

I have to get this bossywork done before the design committee meets since my boss is the committee chair. Hopefully, after that, I can get some real work done.

spousal unit

Good generic term for your husband, wife or partner, especially when you don't want to mention a specific name in your blog or novel (or you can't remember.)

My spousal unit is really annoying today.

freezer diving

Eating whatever is left in the back of the freezer, rather than actually cleaning up and going out for real food. It's dumpster diving for people who have homes.

Bill? You're eating a vegetarian burrito. When did you decide to try the vegetarian lifestyle?

I'm not. It's my ex-girlfriend's from freshman year. I was freezer diving.

copious spare time

The amount of time left in a day that is completely booked, which is to say, none.

Well, I have three finals today, a baseball game this afternoon and a date this evening, so I'd be happy to read your psych paper in my copious spare time.

Defensive Attendance

Attending a meeting where you are optional or not invited at all just to make sure you can deflect any work assignments that come out of it. Wasting an hour to save hours.

I don't have any questions for the speaker. Mine was merely defensive attendance.
