I have always disliked the office jargon "think outside the box." Exactly what freaking box are we talking about here? Ok, I get it. It means something like: be creative, figure out a new perspective, solve the problem. So why not just say that? Why "the box"?
Since I find this saying so annoying, I was absolutely thrilled the first day of class when our paramedic instructor told us: "In this profession we think IN-side the box. You think outside the box, people die." Ha! Not only is thinking outside the box frowned upon, it means death - DEATH.
Structure, rules, protocol. This is perfect.
