Pamming

Years ago I worked in the corporate world and I had a very eclectic staff over the years. At one point, I was managing creative people (always interesting,) a print shop and bindery (very blue-collar mentality -- not that there's anything wrong with that) and several executives on the career path. I learned to change gears very quickly.

One woman who worked for me was slow and methodical. She clearly did not like her job but she did it. Every assignment or request involved taking a huge breath and letting it out as a humongous and audible sigh. My friend Abby (who does a great impression) coined this "Pamming."

I'm Pamming a lot today.
