Useful Work Phrases



1. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

2. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean your an artist.

3. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

4. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

5. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't care.

6. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.

7. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?

8. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.

9. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.

10. I will always cherish the misconceptions I had about you.

11. It's a thankless job, but I have a lot of Karma to burn off.

12. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

13. No, I can only use my powers for good.

14. How about never? Is never good for you?

15. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.

16. You sound reasonable. Time to up the medication.

17. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.

18. I'm out of my mind , but feel free to leave a message.

19. I don't work here. I'm a consultant.

20. Who me ? I just wander from room to room.

21. My toys! My toys! I can't do this job without my toys!

22. It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at a cellular level I'm really quite busy.

23. At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.

24. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

25. I see you've set aside this specialtime to humiliate yourself in public.

26. Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously, and change the subject.

Hmm, two I use at work.

*History*
I have a yo-yo on my desk, mandatory for programming. A while ago my co-worker friend had a yo-yo on his desk. Asked him what it was used for and he explained that it takes his mind off of the "looping of ideas" for de-bugging and most of the time the answer hits him while entranced by doing tricks. Tried it a few days and it works (at least for me). So at my new job, I had to bring it in.

*Line I use*

You know, history shows that the yo-yo was used as a weapon for some tribes...

Another line I use:

"Sorry, so much time and so little to do."

My version: It might look like I'm doing nothing, but that's because I'm efficient and have already done everything for today.

I actually have one of those little window-sucker things on the window of my office that says "Out of my mind. Back in five minutes." :messed

Since I assign how much our technitions get paid from the mother company, and am responsible for backflagging our techs, I have a poster in my office from Despar inc. that reads "You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor". There is a picture of the great pyramids above the text :P

Some others:

I can only please one person each day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I'm sorry, do I resemble your therapist?

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

Everyone is entitled to my opinion. Image
