Got too many meetings today to do that Mr Barman ( 5 in total today ffS) cry:

One of which is a three hour meeting this morning to talk about our crap database - of which I know little to nothing about the technical stuff. How the hell do I get through that without curling up in  a ball in the corner of the room and just confirming I don't give a f**K just fix it. In fact that sounds like a very productive stategy  lol:

Use the "bulls**t baffles brains approach. Throw in a few phrases like:
Best practise
You need to focus
The bottom line is
We need total continuous improvement (describing it as TCI scores extra points)
Let's have a some benchmarks
Think outside the box
This has to be result driven
Push the envelope

You must get in “win-win” at least three times   

(Actually, your "curling up in a ball in the corner of the room and just confirming I don't give a f**K just fix it" approach sounds a lot better)
