From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time.

Could you please explain why? At first glance this would seem to very relevant and some would even say the most relevant thing to the NNSA complex at this moment. Perhaps you know more than everyone else. Or are you are one of those "I know things because I am important but i cannot tell you because it is all super duper classified." You know like all those guys you find at the bars in Santa Fe who go on and on about how they are actually navy seals, delta force or CIA super killers but there is no record of them because it is all hush hush you know, those guys who claim to killed all these people in the Afghan and Sryia and now the work as a bus driver for Los Alamos and go to bars in Espanola to pick women and men by impressing them with fake stories. Is that you? Everyone has had encounters with guys before at LANL. What is odd is they only seem to at LANL, I have never met anyone at LLNL, Sandia or DOE going on about how they in the classified super assassin beyond deadly secret force but at LANL they are a dime a dozen. Call be naive but I am not sure I believe the 400 lbs person, who thinks that Haiti is the capital of Indonesia and claims to be a former Sargent Petty Master Chief Lieutenant who headed up Seal Team 24 in killing zones raids of Norway in 1948 but is now a cart driver in LANL was actually in the service.
