Team Party Pillows

"To be clear, I said I want your 'A' game, not your 'Eh?' game."

The trauma of losing.

"You're invited to our management excursion. Come dresses as a pinata."

'Why is it that nothing ever gets done at these meetings?'

Monster Baseball. The team's continuing to have some problems this season. Jekyll is good one day and bad the next. Dracula only shows up for night games. The Mummy is always covered in bandages and on the injured list. And King Kong can't keep his mind on the game --- Whenever he sees a pretty woman, he climbs up into the stands after her! At least Frankenstein has been pitching great again, just like when he was young! Yeah, he has a completely new arm!

"So what kind of mood is he in?"

"This position has become very important to the company."

"Yeah, but that one's a little bit hard to reach."

'That's our mission statement.'

'Wow! That was some world series, Ella! Both Pujols and Holland were just amazing...'

"How's everybody doing? I'm not boring you, am I?"

'Yes, I know there's a deadline on this project.'

21st century water cooler conversations.

'The efficiency expert's recommendation is we drink more coffee!'

"I spent all day learning productivity hacks"

"Shall we start with an icebreaker?"

'I vote we hang the darn thing upside down and go home!'

'No, your guess isn't as good as mine.'

"Now that I have everyone's attention..."

"Don't forget to leave me a wakeup call so I can get the worm!"

'I can't force jocose if I'm not feeling it.'

"The meeting will come to order."

Here and There Trays

'I've learned a lot about myself at these meetings...like, I can fall asleep with my eyes open!'

"Ok, do we agree the minutes of the last meeting?"

That shows business confidence.

Sign - Halt manager crossing

"The good news is that we do have a little wiggle room."

Party Animals.

'They sold the company in 2001? I was wondering why things were slow.'

"I drink just enough coffee to make me think I can do my job."

"No training period, but you can purchase my instructional video on line for $49.95."

Support Group for a Good Problem

"That report on corporate redundancy... I'd like it in triplicate."
