I'm in a shitty, shitty mood.
Who thinks this is the ideal time to go and talk to my boss?

Right.
I'm going to see if his "open door policy" is actually true. Then we can "touch base" like he always offers and "drill down" to the problems.

I think you should offer to touch his base
and drill down through his cranium to see if he's seeing blue skies

I've never been very good at corporate jargon since I left the biggest corporation before they started using stupid words.

But you enjoy using them?
Why?

I use them with a sense of irony.
I intend to start using more of them.


I shall tell my suppliers to start thinking out of the box when they tell me they can't find a way to get stuff to me quicker.

Ahh I see. I thought my brain had fallen out then as I couldn't understand it.
If they don't get it, is it still ironic I wonder?

Depends what you are going to talk to your boss about.
If it's for a raise, then no.

If it's to tell him what a wanker he is, then yes.

Depends on what you want to talk to him about
If it's the high quality of the steak pie you had in the pub last night, then probably not.

Edit: ^^ scary!

Ha!
I did!
And he said "I can see you are not happy but this is the best I can do right now but do come and have a nice chat soon".

I got him to agree to some stuff though, and got him slightly paranoid. Ha.
