Pet Project Planner Mugs

I'm building a new house here. To my owner over there it's a "pet project." Of course to me, it's just "a project."

"Why can't the rest of you be more like Rollins, here? He does his homework!"

"Three weeks until the pitch, LOADS of time!"

"I was almost that last year."

God's Subcontractors

"I thought you were making a coffee table?"

"Remember now, anything is DIY-abe if you just do it yourself."

"Hello? Is that the canine help line?...."

Christmas Pets

'Roger's busy making a cat-flap in the kitchen.'

Breakthrough

D.I.Y with dad.

"You pulled most of the muscles in your back lifting your to-do list? You've got a bigger problem than pulled muscles."

Waiting for retirement.

'This is way better than a litter box.'

Home De-Po. Things you need for your project. Things you didn't know you needed until you were halfway through your project.

'Well, back to the old drawing board.'

"O.K., O.K., here's 'Lassie, Come Home' again! Now are you happy?"

"Thank goodness for pet doors because the alarm on my piddle clock was about to ring on the rug."

"Cat park"

"Let's face it, this meeting isn't about tightening our work schedule. It's about stretching our deadline."

'The project isn't that important, so put some of your worst people on it.'

'Uh oh. I can see another few hundred will be added to your bid.'

"I'd love to sit down and discuss my project with you some time. Let me check my calendar and I'll get back to you."

'...and notice how they like playing with string.'

'We're waiting for an estimate that doesn't make him do that.'

'I want a dog who will fetch my things, so don't sell me one that drools.'

The Best Laid Plans

'Regarding our deadline - have we moved to long-range planning or still stuck in short-term excuses?'

Self-Employment

"Ok Mr. Bisley, I'll admit it does need a bit of renovation..!"

"Great - Now what would be the second thing you'd do if you had opposable thumbs?"

'Dad, perhaps the fan should suck instead of blow?'

'My hubby is getting better at D.I.Y. . . . Oh yes, he now spends more on screws than plasters.'

'Why do it the easy way when you can do it the right way?'
