There's a chapter in an early book where the IT consultant protagonist is leafing through a technical report from some government bureaucracy full with buzz-speak about how they require "flexible system architectures" and "object oriented databases" or something or the other. The consultant finds it amusing and says something along the lines of "as long as they're paying me". Reminded me a little of Brett Easton Ellis, there's a similar kind of cynicism and detachment, with regards to white collar work.
