verbal circle jerk
when someone engages you or a group in conversation that consists of them telling you repeatedly on how to do your job, what a great job that you are doing or they heap unnecessary/over exaggerated praise all the while maintaining a air of superiority over you or the group they are addressing.
as we labored in the hot afternoon sun, dean stood a few hundred meters away on a small knoll.
his arms across his chest he surveyed us as we worked, watching each man doing his -ssigned task under the watchful eye of the owner.
the air of self importance permeated from dean, he was after all…all that and a bag of chips
with little thought to our schedule dean stopped us from our respective duty’s to have a meeting.
during the course of this meeting we were informed that indeed we were doing our jobs correctly, that together we can get this done and how appreciative he was of all our hard work and talked of spending time on his speed boat with some of us if we could just work a little harder to ensure we were done by weeks end.
ah the proverbial carrot had been dangled, time on the weekend with the boss on his boat….
alas all i could say after dean left was “well boys, that was your verbal circle jerk for the day, i guess if we work any harder then we have we get to hang out with that douchbag on the weekend..any takers?”
we went back to work and took it down a notch after that, after all is was a hot summers day.
