As I have said in the past in my blog, friends and family forward me on all kinds of funny emails.  On rare occasion I share some on my blog.  I have seen many iterations of the useful work phrases in my email box over the years and I may even have included some of these in an earlier blog (the flypaper comment is one of my favorite sayings of all time).  You have also likely seen some of these before in your email box, but they strike me as worthy of revisiting on a Friday the 13th in the dog days of summer – so I have extrapolated my favorites from the list and reordered them to end with my absolute favorite.  Thanks to my buddy Kevin for the forward! 😉

Useful work phrases:

10. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

9. The fact that no one understands you doesn’t mean you’re an artist.

8. You sound reasonable. Time to up my medication.

7. I don’t know what your problem is, but I’ll bet it’s hard to pronounce.

6. I’m out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

5. Thank you. We’re all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

4. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

3. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

2. How about never? Is never good for you?

1. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?

There are some rules that go with these sayings – they must be used sparingly for maximum effect and in some cases you may just need to think them and never say them out loud (lest you become like the Jet Blue flight attendant – not the infamy part- the jobless part).  Have a lovely and well-deserved weekend all! 🙂

Day four hundred and three of the new forty – obla di obla da
