Work Blackout

Related to times spent actively "at" or "doing" your work in relation to your job and livelihood when you have absolutely no memory of those deliverables or the time spent on them. This is not meant to imply that you are imbibed or physically impaired in any way. You are simply so over-worked, that you have entered a mental state that no longer accepts memories of actions being executed, discussed, emailed, delivered, etc.
Can you send me that Power-Point presentation I sent to the team a few weeks ago that was a training guideline for strategic improvement? ...This is it? I don't remember writing a word of this? Like, I wrote this and emailed to you? I must have been in a complete Work Blackout when I did this!? Gets the point across though, right?

WORK SODA

A beer drank while at work. Generally covered up by drinking it in something other than a beer glass, i.e. soda cup, coffee cup, etc.
"Are you drunk?"
"yeah, I had a few too many work sodas tonight."

work cute

An individual in the top 10% of the cutest male/female population at work. Said individual is in the 40 - 70% cute range when compared to the general population. Ergo, beneath your notice in the real world, the economy of hotness in office environments allows one to define a member of the opposite sex as work cute.
"Chuck is cute, you'll like him!"
"Really? I like hot guys!"
"Ok, he's not hot-- but, like work cute"

Work weed

grunt work

Simple-minded, repetitive and some times redundant work.
Using a lawnmower can take the grunt work out of pruning the lawn. ;)
