On being "super excited"

Dare posted on this last week, but I got my second email today where someone was "super excited" to be doing something and almost screamed. We really need to remove this from the venacular.

It has gotten to the point that I honestly tune out after either reading or hearing that phrase.

I've noticed this too (especially around MS). It's funny how lingo makes it's way through a company. Usually starts with one respected guy, then spirals into ad nauseum. I recommend baseball bats to fix the problem.

speaking of MS lingo, my favorites that will stick with me for life, that were said by MS'ers are: "flip the bozo bit" and "show up and throw up"

It's been only a few days since I got hired and I was wondering why everyone's "super excited"... I got my answer now.
