Festival Staff Pillows

Face painting.

'What sort of mission statement is that?'

"I said he's beginning to teethe...not tithe."

Multi-tasking.

Kid to pastor: 'Which office is heaven?'

'These are job perks.'

"The president demands that staff take responsibility for failures, and the multi-trillion deficit is down to YOU!"

'The ultimate sign of success is when no one puts you on hold.'

'Say, our stress control seminar worked! Our sales are way down...but so what if they are.'

'Congratulations Smith, you got that promotion. Commiserations Reid, you got that demotion.'

Stressed employee says to colleague: 'I think I'm on top of the situation and I hope I'm in the loop, but I can't seem to get ahead of the curve.'

Busy office.

'Once, long ago, I thought I was wrong...but it turned out I was mistaken.'

Sales.

'Look Jefferson, much as I respect your emphasis of the informal approach...'

"The after-dinner mint is the boss's idea. I think it's superfluous."

'At this juncture in my presentation, I'd like to dispense with the illusion of coherence.'

'Stevens, get in here. I need a few minutes with the left side of your brain.'

"I'm glad you felt able to get that off your chest...now could we discuss next year's targets?"

Around here it got a little tricky...

'It was restored just last year, and changed from an abstract painting to a landscape.'

'And Steven here takes care of the donkey work.'

'Miss Hartley, implement me a coffee and a cheese danish.'
