Dear Valued Customers and Team Players, Why say Diary when 'Event Empowerment Tool' sounds so much more impressive? Why would I want to be fired when I can suffer 'an involuntary career event'; when Death comes I won't be facing the Grim Reaper but a 'negative patient outcome'. Ever spent time in a meeting wishing you were somewhere else? Or at least your mind was? Now under the guise of a plain, honest business diary you and your colleagues will be able to access Weasel Word Bingo, Power Point Bingo, and the fabulous new game, The Weasel Words Ready Reckoner, in which you get points for uttering certain weaselly phrases.

If you are curious to know what your boss or local member or human resources manager actually mean; if you want to mock the very idea of them and the language they use; if you are after strategies for subverting meetings, undermining appraisal sessions and facilitating time flow going forwards, this is the Event Empowerment Tool for you. Guaranteed to give you hours of fun at those times when fun seems a distant memory, this 'Event Empowerment Tool' will also explain what those mysterious phrases on your Appraisal Form really mean, and translates what your manager means when he says: 'We have to leverage our resources'. Of course it means 'you're working weekends'. Office workers the world over will thrill to realise that "I'd like your buy-in on this' really means 'I want someone else to blame when this thing bombs; and that 'we need to syndicate this decision' really means, 'We need to spread the blame if it backfires'.

This Diary will lighten the loads of office drones, give managers and politicians further cause for worry, and continue the good work done by Don and the Weasel Words website, which gets over 5,000 hits a week.
