Overheard on a train.

Middle-aged woman with a terribly loud irritating voice talking some of the most egregiously self-serving businessdroid jargon I have ever heard into her mobile.

"That was the night they let everyone go. They kept two or three resources but they rolled everyone else off the project."

"I should tell you that from 29th April there will be no batch management from our project-team. All batch management resources will be rolled off"

"There is a bandwidth effect in the problem management space"

"Do you know X? He is the solutions architect on the project. He solutioned the deal with Y"

Utterly vomitable.

A lot better banter, if only slightly better morals from a man in a suit talking about money:

"Frankly its going nowhere. [We're] only waiting for them to CMOT on it and then we'll throw some magic dust on it".

"We need to get him onto a managed account but he'll want to tell us all about his future career"

"Send them a note saying that we released [the contract] before we got the true guidance on it and there's an error in it and send it back and we'll grandfather it and grub the terms out and give it back to them when we've cleaned it.

Yes, he really did use CMOT (I assume) as a verb - pronounced see-mot. That's a first I think!
