Populate or perish
I just endured a dull human resources related meeting in a drab windowless boardroom. Essentially this meeting was an exercise in humouring the Human Resources Division while attempting to justify their existence. During the meeting the convenor asked me to ‘populate’ a document. I think her intention was for me to fill the document in but with ludicrous office speech who really knows. Considering I was being asked to populate I was tempted to use Peter Costello as my inspiration and fill in one form for Mum, one form for Dad and one form for my country...

Come over to London and you'll think Australian office language is casual! Jargon is on another level here. We often send out documents to be populated (filled in), call up people when they don't send their return (eg send the filled in document back), use the results to make sure everyone's aligned (eg people don't have conflicting plans), etc, etc. There are heaps more examples but I'm so used to them now I can't think of them. : )
