"He works well with everyone except customers and co-workers."

"Just got back from the client meeting and great news. . . your work isn't dead. It's beaten senseless and run over by a dump truck...but still very much alive."

"Please fill out these forms. We don't need them for anything, but you're making me nervous staring at your watch."

"On Monday, they will introduce a new office layout and you'll be near Judy, who isn't good at sharing her charger. . ."

'Then again - no pain, no gain.'

'This is taking longer than my stay in hospital!'

"It's important to see 'beyond the obvious' when you look at a customer. . ."

'I'll take #1.'

"My, aren't we patient-oriented this morning."

'Guess who I bumped into today? EVERYBODY!'

"That last customer thinks I should fire you."

"Well, if you want my blood pressure lower don't keep waiting two hours to see you."

'Have I been waiting long? Well, I guess so. I was forty three years old when I came in.'
