Words for Nerds--Somnolent

In some companies, somnolence is a way of life. Here are some things that one might describe as somnolent.

1. Meetings.
2. PowerPoints.
3. Annual reports.
4. Strategic planning sessions.
5. Seminars.
6. Company policy manuals.
7. Information privacy policies.
8. Product warranties.
9. Job descriptions.

What do these have in common? Correct! They all tend to cause sleep.

And that, friends, is what somnolent is all about!

Vincent van Wylick exposes somnolence in job descriptions.
