seagull administration

A form of administration in which the performer drops in, squawks, deposits a lot of shit, and flies off to new parts.

Our unesteemed boss conducted seagull administration: he liked to drop in occasionally, randomly criticize without inquiry or understanding, and then go on, never to bring up the matter again. We came to regard that as part of the on-the-job entertainment.

hang loose

Stand by, and take it easy or relax while doing so. This term, or its near relation dangle loose, is a commonly-used southern Louisiana slang expression. Possibly opposite to uptight: both expressions alluding to positions of the testicles.

Weekends are important: time to hang loose and take stock of things.
