Leanne’s at work

Is the art of a woman in her 40’s pretending she’s off at her job when she’s really off playing around. Job titles usually include ‘air-hostess’ as this can maximise her time away from the home.

Carly: “Hey Leanne’s looking all done up today” Hayley: “Yeh it’s the cravat I think! Leanne’s loving her new job at Qantas”
Hayley “What can I say, Leanne’s at work”

work-nuke

When a teacher or a boss suddenly assigns a large amount of work to do, likely with a short deadline.

Student 1: Holy shit bro, the math teacher gave us 10 worksheets that we have to finish by Friday.
Student 2: Man, he is so annoying. All he does is work-nuke us.

working an angle

The art of manipulating situations with the finesse of a used car salesman so that every conversation, no matter how mundane or only tangentially related, serves to benefit one’s personal agenda. Basically social gymnastics for the ethically flexible.

"Brad sure has a knack for working an angle; he turned a routine staff meeting into a networking opportunity with the CEO and somehow ended up with a promotion and the CEO’s old gym socks.”

Work Wall

A mental block that a person hits while at work where it become damn near impossible to continue working for the day. The work wall is typically hit a few minutes before the work day officially ends, though on some days it's inconveniently hit much earlier, especially if one is "not feeling it".

"Work wall hit, I'll just have to finish this shit up in the morning."

Light work

To have an easy life, barely working but making a huge income whilst having a laugh, like an owner of a pizza company.

Josh: That week of shifting pizzas was actually light work
