Directorgasm

What happens when a Director gets inordinately excited about something (usually unachievable) - often ends in a sticky mess.

Co-worker 1: I hear you were on the wrong end of a Directorgasm in the staff meeting this morning.
Co-worker 2:Yeah he saw some Powerpoint slides at a sales demo and now I have 2 weeks to build him a system that works the same.
Co-worker 1: Sucks to be you

directoritis

Directoritis is a similiar condition such as "senioritis" "retire-itis" and just simple food itis. However, directoritis pertains to movie directors. The disease is most commonly acquired after the Oscars. Since the directors are loving their little gold oscar, they no longer make good movies, resulting in movie goers having to settle for less "quality" movies. This time of the year is usually a month or two after the oscars and is the christmas for Blockbuster economically. Soon after, the disease is cured and we can once again...see good movies.

Bill: Hey! Let's see a movie tonight!
Chad: Nah bro, nothing good is out...all the big shots have directoritis!
Bill: Wanna just see Race to Witch Mountain?
Chad: Nah..lets just rent Batman again!

Board of Directors

A board of directors is a group of Karens that feel they can talk down to the manager but also the C.E.O. of a company that does not bend to their will.

I feel sorry for that waiter over there.
Why?
Five Karens just sat down for bottomless mimosa's and brunch and you know they're going tell him how to do his job.
You mean the board of directors? Yeah, the whole table is getting there meal comped!
