“Management-speak, that buzzwordy lingo that flies about recklessly in conference rooms, PR statements and other corporate communications across America, is an evolution of language as much as a Rube Goldberg contraption is an evolution of technology. It is just a complicated way of expressing something very simple that sounds more impressive than it actually is.” -DMD

Two years ago I wrote an essay here called How to make every weekend a three-day weekend.  In it, I advocated the radical approach of moving to an 8-day week.  Somebody was listening and saw the wisdom of this idea.  Today the Governor of Utah, Jon Huntsman, signed into law an order with the goal of trimming budgets and conserving resources in the state government, through a more workable solution:  a 4-day workweek, taking Fridays off.
