People who say "going forward"
« on: January 29, 2013, 07:20:57 PM »
OK, good news first. I was approached recently about some work. Contacts  eveilgrin:

Had an hour on the phone yesterday with the head honcho who offered me a contract  cloud9:

He apologised that they only pay £1500 a week plus expenses.  eeek:

BUT  BUT he spoke in management jargon throughout so I am none the wiser about what he wants me to do  Banghead Banghead

I counted. He said "going forward" 37 times  cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:

He is buying me lunch in London on Thursday  cloud9:

If he says it again should I punch him?

Not until the contract is in your hands, signed and with no get out clauses.

I overheard a conversation on the train yesterday... I'll see your "going forward" and play "I'm totally onboard with that... "   eeek:   sick2:
