How To Play "Office BINGO":

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and training sessions at your office? What about those long and boring conference calls? If you like playing Bingo here's a way to change all of that:

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare your "Bullcrap Bingo" card by drawing a square -- 5" x 5" is a good size -- and dividing it into columns --five across and five down. That will give you 25 1-inch bingo blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each bingo block:
synergy, strategic fit, core competencies, best practices, bottom line, revisit, paradigm, 24/7, out-of-the-loop, benchmark, value-added, proactive, win-win, think outside the box, fast-track, result-driven, empower, knowledge-base, at the end of the day, touch base, active listening, mindset, client-focused, ballpark, game-plan, leverage, technology.

3. Check off the appropriate bingo block when you hear one of those words/phrases spoken during the course of your meeting.

4. When you get five bingo blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up immediately and shout "BULLCRAP!"
