Words

I absolutely despise the word "synergy". It conjures images of slick salesmen and slimy executives hoping for the big payoff. But sometimes it's the only word that works.

I had a fantastic meeting this morning with a former colleague, and it seems we are working on very similar projects from different angles. I don't know what can come from it, but it was exciting to find the common ground and know that there is some potential there. We just have to figure out how to mesh it all together.

So, what other workd can I use?
