Vocabulary

Training is over. That means I've learned something. Whether that something is useful will probably be a question I'll struggle with over the next two years.

Let me share the new vocabulary I've learned:

Networking (v.) - Drinking on the weekdays, typically at an open bar that only serves beer and cheep wine.

Staffed (v.) - to have ability to charge hours to the client.

Deck (n.) - a printed version of a PowerPoint slide, commonly for a proposal. Each slide should to look like it was worth $400/hour, regardless if that is the true value of the information it conveys.

PowerPoint (n.) - Everyone's favorite program, where templates don't work the way they should.

Add Value (phrase) - a catch all saying that describes what we're supposed to do.

I'll have to look into that. (phrase) - answer to a question that you didn't understand, but might be valid; however, there is a high probability that the question is gibberish.

Solving Complex Business Problems (phrase) - making PowerPoint presentations.
