Favorite Work Phrase #3

NEWTD (pronounced "new-ted", short for Not Enough Work To Do)

Adjective- a state of being in which a person lacks sufficient work in his/her own job area, and thus starts bugging co-workers as a way to stay busy

Usage Examples
"Why does Jack (whose office is in another whole part of the building) keep showing up in our area and making dumb remarks?" "Newtd"

"Why does Janie keep butting into every conversation that doesn't involve her?" "Newtd"

I bet you'll soon find a situation at your job where you can use this phrase. It comes in very handy, especially if you only tell one other person what it means, then use it to describe other co-workers.
