Desk Escapist Mugs

Jack liked to spend 2 or 3 days of his vacation in the office just to let others know that he can't help them.

'I need to get away from my desk for a while. If anyone needs me I'll be out in the hall thumping my nose at authority.'

"What a glorious day it is. I have put aside my work...it is just too beautiful a day to sit at my keyboard..."

"Clear my schedule for the next five minutes. I feel the need for some spontaneous frivolity."

Woman dreaming about being on vacation.

"What do I do to relieve stress? I meditate, about not working here."

'I have much less stress since I replaced my in box with a paper shredder.'

"Bill's a little upset. The boss just chewed him out."

"It's essential I go to work to avoid being with my family."

"What's the problem? We told you when you started you'd have to make some sacrifices."

Taking a little mental vacation can help as long as you don't go to mental.

Workaholic on holiday

I hate sitting in traffic jams. - 'Move it! I need to get work.' - 'I hate sitting at my desk.' -

Forms I cannot deal with / Forms I will not deal with

"I've just about had it with these corporate retreats!"

"Lisa, bring out the Alistair Cheng files and an iced mochaccino, if you will, please."

"Cubicle 311 is our 'cultural oasis'."

"How do you feel about working a four-day week?"

Whiskers realized he'd grown tired of the rat race.

'Walter, stop fantasizing and get back to your desk.'

'Miss Fenwick - I don't want to see anyone today!'

'Welcome aboard, Bob. Your job is to figure out what the hell happened here.'

'I'm playing 18 floors.'

Next, I recall looking down at myself and thinking, God, what a drama queen.

Friday 5.30pm.

Clock watcher

"Where do you see yourself getting drunk in five years?"

Man running from desk: 'I can't seem to get away from my work lately.'

'Now, dear, I spent 35 years pretending to look busy. I can't just quit overnight!'

"Then I wake up, the cheering has stopped, I have three kids, and I work in a cubicle."

'When I wake up, remind me to give you a few tips on how to make your presentations a little more dynamic.'

Man at Fire Escape sees door with 'Hot Button Issues Escape',

"I'm sorry I'm away from my desk, but it's still in my thoughts."

A usual day.

While you were out...
