Precrimination. From Word of the Day comes this definition — Precimination: n. A recrimination made in advance of some expected event or outcome. I like this one. It’s the logical cousin to one of my other favorite words: Blamestorming.

Communication is in the eye of the beholder. A guerrilla marketing campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force shut down the city of Boston. The whole city. The Charles River. Bunker Hill. I-95. The blinking marketing gimmicks had been deployed without incident in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

Most firms don’t track employees’ days off. A Hewitt Associates study shows that companies are often clueless about the cost of employee absence. Even more shocking is that a large number of companies don’t even know if their employees are in or out. Maybe they need to borrow Lucy’s “The Doctor is In” sign.
