DEFINITION:<\/strong> To create an illusion of busyness so that your co-workers, and most importantly your boss, never realize that you have absolutely nothing to do.<\/p>\n

Defartmentalize<\/strong>: \/dee-fart-men-tul-ize<\/em>\/ Josh was able to convince everyone in the office that he was on top of several projects at once. He had the ability to defartmentalize any project thrown his way. Yes, he had gotten so good at allocating everything to others on the sly, that he considered himself the Head of the Customer Service Defartment. Etymology:<\/em> Root word: Departmentalize: To organize something into departments. Phrase: fart around: To waste time. Created by:<\/em> lumina.<\/p>\n

I think my boss is the defartment head. What should I do?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Exertsham<\/strong>: \/exert-sham<\/em>\/ The illusion of working is an age old problem and is also known as walking the dog, a government job, or exertsham.
\n Etymology:<\/em> EXERTSHAM – noun – from EXERT (to put oneself into strenuous, vigorous action, or effort)+ SHAM (something that is not what it purports to be; a fraud, or hoax) Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/p>\n

Fantasimulabor<\/strong>: \/FANT-UH-SIM-YOU-LAY-BURR<\/em>\/ Since reading was prohibited at the library’s circulation desk, everyone engaged in various degrees of FANTASIMULABOR. One portly cretin had been at it for so long that she actually believed FANTASIMULABOR would bring her academic accolades aplenty.
\nUsing smoke and mirrors, she had turned PROductivity into CONductivity.
\nHer work ethic was so well camouflaged as to be completely undetectable, and the deception was made complete by her total lack of anything resembling a personality. Etymology:<\/em> FANTAsy+SIMUlated+LABOR Created by:<\/em> metrohumanx.<\/p>\n

She should read “Personality for Dummies” Terrific sentence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Fakupied<\/strong>: \/FAKE-yoo-pied<\/em>\/ Bill passed by Bob’s desk to ask him for assistance, only to find Bob sitting at his desk, scrutinizing the pile of papers before him. Bill continued on, not wanting to bother the obvioulsy occupied Bob. Little did Bill know that Bob was not occupied but fakupied. Etymology:<\/em> Combination of “fake” (anything made to appear otherwise than it actually is; counterfeit) and “occupied” (having one’s attention or mind or energy engaged). Created by:<\/em> Berlioze.<\/p>\n
