Boondoggle

During my boondoggle in Honolulu, the company put me up in a mighty nice resort hotel. I came home with a great tan.

powerpoint

A heinous, but useful microsoft tool for putting together presentations of slides/viewgraphs.
This little piece of sh -- I mean, software comes with MS Office and it features creepy templates and clipart, your helpful friend Clippit and strategic incompatibilities with previous versions of itself.
It masquerades as a graphics program, but cannot touch Adobe in any way shape or form, so it is instead as annoyingly incompatible with Adobe as possible.
Also, it will HOG all your SWAP SPACE.
Bastard.
Person: Instead of doing real technical work, I spent all day making powerpoint slides out of my results, only to have the software freeze my computer after a few hours.

gel pen

A writing utensil containing "gel" ink, which resembles a liquidy paint that can be applied to almost any surface and comes in every possible color you can imagine from metallic orange, to sparkly purple, to glow-in-the-dark green. This newest and greatest pen technology is comfortable to use because it requires little hand pressure, but often the ink takes a bit long to dry.
Gel pen manufacturers include: Marvy, Sanford, Zebra, Pilot, and Sakura.
Signing my mortgage was so much more fun with a iridescent blue gel pen.

Any true pen slut owns at least ten different gel pens.

foulies

What sailors call their foul weather gear, which consits of a raincoat rainpants combo, among other accessories.
My overall foulies look dorky, but they sure do keep me dry on the deck when it storms.

dunkin donuts

Everyone's favorite donut -- um, I mean, coffee shop. It first opened in Quincy MA (that's pronounced "Kwinzee") and has now propagated all over the world even to Thailand, where the largest Dunkies ever supposedly seats about 130 people.

This is the only place where a "regular" coffee means with cream and sugar. Also it's the only place to buy some "munchkins", small balls of donut "hole" that you can eat in one bite. (Yes, it's amazing something that sounds this gross was such a big hit.)

This fabulous establishment is loved by everyone: Cops, college students, CEOs, punks, soccer moms, sistas, ABCs, WASPs, your momma, and whoever else walks in the door.
The Dunkin Donuts on my street had a line out the door this morning, so I went to the one two blocks down instead.
