Brown bags
The management-monkeys have a new term...."Brown bag seminars".
stop sniggering.
apparently it refers to what we used to call "Lunch and learn" sessions which pretty much does what it says on the tin. The difference between a "lunch and learn" session and a "brown bag seminar" seems to be that the latter requires you to buy your own lunch and also makes people think of winos on park benches drinking out of bottles wrapped in brown paper bags.
But the best part is, these "Brown bag seminars" are not even going to be a lunch time! Due to the way our company is cunningly structured with offices in 3 locations all 8 hours apart, these sessions are going to be at 5.30 UK time.
err, hello? 5.30? hands up all those who seriously think I'm going to forgo a swift exit to the pub for one of these things.

Why not suggest an alternative 'black bag' seminar; in which the team meet at the dodgy offy at 01:00 and collect black bags and discuss company strategy in the park with tins of white lightening and stella?
