Hello Again Corporate America! How have you been?

From today onwards, I will be your sole point of contact for the transformational collaborative strategic initiatives, which will empower your most valued clients with the most rewarding experience, thereby further promoting and solidifying their loyalty, in order to sustain year on year growth, and global market dominance... Enough business buzz words for ya? How am I going to achieve this? who cares, as long as I can string all the buzz together, someone will figure it out! Indeed! Aye! This is the world I've bid adieu to 1 year ago. And now, I'm returning to it, as of next week. What can I say, I got an offer I simply cannot refuse. It is not very difficult to string together a series of "important sounding" words and get paid for it! Right? right! Looks like 2017 will be interesting for me. How is 2017 going for ya?

So you're a dominatrix? I knew it! The buzz words are great, but you need substance behind it all. Conquering America is too daunting a prospect to me, especially with Donald on the horizon (and I don't mean Donald Duck) Good luck and don't forget us minions whilst you live your jetsetting lifestyle. Bon Voyage! x

Hmmm... no, while I understand what each word means (sort of) the conglomeration has no meaning that I can fathom, Dearheart. And you write that xxxx for PAY? Really? Someone pays you to write that and then figure out how to make it be true? If someone would pay me to string buzzwords together, I am sure I could do it... no, I am not at all sure I could do that, to be honest. It still looks and sounds like gibberish to me... sigh! I guess I will not be joining you in your new endeavor, hon. Best of luck to you and I support you 100%... I think. LOL!

Here is a different view of Corporate anything...
The grade 11 media class at Appleby College in Oakville made videos for some of the songs on our new album SPACE. They did a great job and some of them will ...

@Drosophila I think Corporate America calls that "constructive criticism" Having a corporate vision and mission statement really makes it easy for everyone to know the value they add to the corporation... Good luck in the new role.

Translation. "If you can't do the crap someone else can and make you look good huh. Its an idea beats going it alone. The buyers will think you are special that is if you don't go broke at least it will seem you are on top of the heap." Think they will like it?

My brain does not want to wrap around those words, so I leave them in your very capable hands! lol So far, the new year has brought some very healthy cooking to my kitchen, and some new recipes. I'm enjoying the changes. I hope you find yourself enjoying those changes, too!
