Assistant Manager Mugs

"Actually I'm only the assistant evil overlord."

"So, Joey, how do you like the responsibility of being an assistant manager?"

"They have 'Gwendolyn'...but no 'Graciela'? And where's Josefina? And Pilar? And Marisol? Look, if you guys need an assistant manager of keeping up with the times, here's my number...but I'm not cheap!"

"I hate to leave, but a promotion is a promotion!"

"You think I can be an assistant manager?"

"Here it comes...my hard work is paying off...give it to me, baby!"

"I'm promoting Joey...to assistant manager!"

"Welcome to Auto y Rod, fellow employee!"

"Look Baldo, I know I'm your 'boss'...but nothing has really 'changed'."

"I don't know, Baldo. I like being an assistant manager and all...but I'm not sure this job is for me."

"Joey, you stood around all day pretending to work when really you didn't do anything."

"Hey! I just found out!! Now that I'm assistant manager, I get two weeks of paid vacation!"

"No...I've made my decision...I'm laying off Joey and Hernando. You, Beatriz and Kiyoshi will have have to pick up the slack. And by the way...you're my new assistant manager."

"Wow, Baldo...I can't believe you finally did it."

"Attention shoppers...due to a scheduling conflict...the role of telenovela star Victor Guerrero is being played today by assistant produce manager Billy Joe Quiggle!"

"Mr. Rod, it makes no sense. Joey is nice and all, but there's no way he should be assistant manager! I mean, I'm the one who does all the work around here!"

"The buck stops next door"

"From Baldo: hey, I wanted to ask, don't u think joeys a terrble asst managr?"

"Baldo, I don't understand! I thought you'd be happy if I promoted Joey!"

"So, Baldo, do you remember when you started working here?"

"I don't know, Baldo. Sometimes I feel this assistant manager stuff isn't for me."

'What bothers me about these meetings is even though it's work, I have the nagging feeling I ought to leave and get back to work.'

"You've got your corner office, so what more do you want?"

"Another week another dollar, Jenkins"

'Noticeboard? I forgot it was there to be honest.'

"Yes Sir, I'm still working on the 'ins and outs' of their proposal."
