Colleagues display ‘Shock & Awe’

Ben Sullivan is a keen observer of office sociology. He e-mails: “Have you noticed, the nomenclature of Gulf War 2 is starting to emerge. Where GW1 had ‘Mother of all,’ and ‘sorties,’ in GW2 ‘Shock and awe,’ and ‘Coalition of the Willing’ are early favorites. As in, ‘I’m putting together a Coalition of the Willing for lunch today’ or ‘Mike’s Powerpoint presentation left us in Shock & Awe.'”
