There are
words we need to borrow from other languages.
From Finnish, that word of the day is “kalsarikannit”. This is a portmanteau of two words: “kalsari”, meaning “underpants”;
and “kannit”, meaning “drunk”, with the implication of being alone,
probably at home. Used together, it
refers to the act of getting drunk, alone, at home, sitting in your underpants
because you could not be bothered. That
is some level of despair.
These are my thoughts on business development and management issues. I worked for years as a consultant and in various positions in the logistics and maritime industry. We have handled projects from training and development to corporate imaging and branding.
