Suprise Delegation

The act of assigning or delegating work to others without informing the delegatee of the work assigned. The person who is assinged the work often is suprised when the task is revealed.

Mike just asked me for an update on project X. I didn't even know i was supposed to be working on project x... just another example of his suprise delegation.

Fauxtonic relationship

Where one party believes the interaction is platonic, while the other covets more.

Although Jane believes that she and John are just really good friends, it's actually a fauxtonic relationship, as John appears to be waiting for her to see him as boyfriend material.

jagged relationship

an up-and-down, on-and-off again type of relationship

if you are in a jagged relationship, especially if you are the dominated party, you should be asking yourself whether or not that particular relationship is right, or maybe even harmful, for you.

authentic relationship

Its five key characteristics:

- trusting morally ambiguous people
- refraining yourself from changing people who clearly urgently need to be fixed; loving people for the mess they are
- having transparent communications with liars and judges
- admitting your real delusional expectations to resentful people not hired for that job
- weather storms with the wimpiest sailors

Something very hard to find on Tinder.

Jane: What are you doing?
John : I'm shopping for an authentic relationship online.
Jane: Gosh... better look for a needle in a haystack!
