"Ummm, hold up a second, old chum . . ."

'On behalf of the entire staff, let me thank you for breaking up that meeting.'

I knew you wouldn't want your signature on such a messy looking letter, so I signed it myself.

Thank you

"I have no idea what it is you do around here, but whatever it is, keep up the good work."

'What sort of mission statement is that?'

'I'm reading aloud, Jeremy - My lips are SUPPOSED to be moving!'

"Staff support"

'Let me worry about the one percent inspiration, you just take care of the 99 percent perspiration.'

'I love your playing....especially when you stop!'

'Why can't we have a texting bee?'

This is a 'text book' it's a bit like a website but printed on paper.

"This software will cut my workload in half, so I purchased two."

"They've hiked up our targets again...I'm going to have to put in some overtime to have any chance of meeting them!"

'Hi, Miss Henderson, we did collage in class today. Can you drive me home?'

'I started out as a teacher's pet, and then it kind of snowballed.'

"Actually, the district office is getting better results with a fresh garlic bagel."
