End Of Holiday Gifts

"What a great way to end our winter breaks! We came here alone...but we're not leaving alone!"

"I can hardly wait...TWO WHOLE weeks without having to deal with mindless e-mails, incessant interruptions, boring meetings...."

Plan 'A', Plan 'B' - "I say we should go with plan 'A', sir."

'How was your holiday?' - 'Fantastic! Great weather! Great food! No illness!' - 'So, back to work tomorrow, then?' - 'Yeah, I guess so.' - 'Lousy, germ free holiday.'

"Sorry, you can't cash in your vacation time. Since you didn't use it, tell it Bon Voyage!"

"I'm the last to go home because my parents are still fine tuning their work-life balance."

"Just our luck. We finally see the 'feel good' movie of the year and it's December."

Back to school.

'Think we should be packing up soon, Hon?'

"The holiday was a real eye opener...the crowds,the unbearable heat and noise,the chaos...and that was just at Heathrow."

'A Fucking Drink'

'People, it's 4:55 Friday...and that means Howie starts the weekend with the drum solo from ‘Wipe Out!''

"Did you pack your own bags?"

"What I should have done during vacation besides watching video games. . ."

"Post-holiday dieting will be much easier this year. Our disposable cash flow will be diverted."

"And while violations of our ethical code were up sharply this year, I think it's important to remember that last year we were amazingly ethical."

"I don't know which needs charged more, him or all the devices he was on all summer."

Sometimes God regretted making Fridays so awesome.

"I have to create a few loose ends for other people to clear up."

Old year sits by 'Out' box, and new year sits by 'In' box in office.

"You've been vital to our great year. Your bonus is whatever you can carry out by midnight."

"Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. So let's all do our best to forget how great last year's revenues were."

The week at a glance.

"Can you believe it? A couple of page-turners, one affair, and, wham - it's Labor Day."

Christmas is fun...but as soon as the holidays are over I'm heading down to Florida for the sun.

Friday, 5.30pm...dreaming of beer.

Signs of Fall

"This is going to be a two-cupcake Friday."

Office ready to leave at 5 o'clock.

'Sorry, Bill's out of his office today, he should be back Monday.'

Bonfire of the Paperwork

Executive happy to be back from vacation and on billable hours again.

"How did I find the weather on holiday? Well, I just walked outside and there it was!"

"As a matter of fact, you DID catch me at a bad time."

"It's been a great year except for me not getting any respect for my personal 'dressing for comfort' choice."
