FIFY!

...

Ducking a rope - leaving early for the day

Sluff - the constant, seemingly endless trickle of e-mail pouring in.

Lift-line: The line of traffic you are stuck in trying to get out of the parking lot. 

Gaper: The guy with a college degree who has no clue how to actually do his job, but thinks he does because he has the degree.

Glades: Somewhere you enjoy spending your time much more than at your desk because hardly anyone notices you aren't really working much. AKA the restroom. 

Whiteout....  Someone very high up is asking you some pretty specific sounding questions about some project that you have nothing to do with....  But, somebody referred them to you claiming you did.  You are completely lost and have no idea how to answer.

Weekend Warrior - Those lazy part timers that think they could run the company

Sorry if I missed the mark....I've never really worked in an office, but I imagine this is pretty much what my day would look like

I would change a couple of the OP's:

Powder stash: Getting in on the ground floor of a project that makes you look good but is easy for you

Powder hound: The guy who bogarts all of the above type projects

Crud... a boatload of escalations sent to your inbox.

Pre-release:  Ducking out of monotonous, unnecessary meetings under the guise of having important work to do.  It works, trust me...

Full rocker:  Every once in a while you see somebody sit so far back in their reclining desk chair that they end up on their back on the floor.  They jump up and act like it was the chair's fault...
 

First chair:  This one can be improved upon but you'll have to use your imagination.  Think about it, small to medium sized office, early in the morning...

Corn - Leftovers from last nights dinner that you are eating for lunch
 

Hero snow- one of those rare days when everything just seems to work and go your way.

Toboggan Ride....  leaving early due to illness or calling in sick.

Wind hold:  When the internet or one of the servers in the office goes down leaving everybody to stand around accomplishing nothing...

I'm so going to use that.

Core shots: What you drank too many of at happy hour last night

Early rise: Waking up way too early for work, especially after a night of core shots

Quiver: What your stomach does after getting out of bed, usually after an early rise

Hucking: What you do in the bathroom to prepare for work, usually following a quiver. See also: Puking

Sandwich construction: What you’re making for lunch today with great care to avoid more hucking

Drift: What your mind does after reading online ski forums all morning on your work computer, usually after all of the above

Quiver... Your personal collection of macros, database queries, and slick excel formulas that enable you to finish your work hours before your boss thinks you do.

Yard Sale... hit "reply all" instead of just replying to one or two insiders when sending something less than appropriate for the general public. Also applies to IM windows.

Line up:  Every office has a small subset of people who have to stand around, on the clock, at the start of each day recounting mindless stuff that occurred since the end of the last shift.
 

Like HippieFlippin, I've never worked in an office.....

Interlodge - When you call in sick because you're too hung over to leave the house.
