A friend of mine just sent this to me and I thought I'd share.

THINGS YOU'D LOVE TO SAY AT WORK, BUT CAN'T!

1. Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again...

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

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

4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

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

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

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

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

9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.

10. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of it.

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

12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

13. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a darn.

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

15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of
view.
17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

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

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

20. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.

21. And your crybaby whiny-butt opinion would be...?

22. Do I look like a people person?

23. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.

24. I started out with nothing & still have most of it left.

25. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.

26. If I throw a stick, will you leave?

27. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.

28.. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.

29. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.

30. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door.

31. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1?

32. Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

33. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?

34. Chaos, panic, & disorder -- my work here is done.

35. How do I set a laser printer to stun?

36. I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted paychecks.

Hysterical! I just came from making a presentation to management, and this what just what I needed!
Thanks!

Ah I'm just kidding, I really like #36! Rings true for me!

#s 11 and 26 really speak to me! :D

I'm involved in mentoring at my office, and there are several youngsters, fresh out of law school, who report to me. They are nice enough kids, but absolutely certain that they know everything, are immortal, and are the best thing to happen to this company. (The nostalgia is killing me!)

Once they get a little more experience, some seasoning and some humility, they'll be wonderful folks, but in the meantime--! :rolleyes:

Too funny... as an elementary school teacher, I kind of like #6!

And I have to add as #37 one that a friend of mine used with an annoying opposing counsel at a deposition. (Yeah, leave it to attorneys to be full of sarcasm. I was impressed because I can usually only come up with these things a day later.)

#37 - Just because you're loud, doesn't mean you're effective.

Lori,

From you, your colleagues probably would not be all that surprised. ;)

Thanks for the laugh - great way to get your two-thousandth post!

Very funny Lori! I remember that you work at a university too and my coworkers and I were thinking that some of these would be great to say to the faculty-if only we could. #21 would be most appropriate for one who is nicknamed "Whining Boy".:p
