"We are not here to fix blame. We are here to fix the problem."
Evidently this is corporate speak for, "We know exactly which two or three inbred, lazy, stupid, worthless, incompetent, a$$hats in this meeting are the cause of the problem, but we can't fire them right now, so how can we get other people to carry their dead weight?".

I miss meritocracy.
Supervisor-"YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!"
Dead Weight-"Why?!"
Supervisor-"Because you are stupid and lazy."
Problem solved!

During college I worked at Wal-Mart. I actually liked being there, mostly because I hated college. I hate the people who think they are better than you because you work retail. The people who taunted me at the till got a an active security device in their bags.
I remember the first time someone asked me where the front of the store was. I was like are you serious? Then I realized he was serious. I also got the "Do you work here?" alot. I would usually tell them I was a paid volunteer.
I had to walk through the hardware dept to get to my dept. Once some guy asked me where the fasteners were. I know nothing about hardware and hate pretending that I do. So I said, "Yes, I think the self-checkouts are faster," and continued on my way.

Yeah, offices suck! I hate them. I hate the people that work in them. Thank goodness, I'm getting the hell out of ever working in an office again. Got my own business. It RULES being your own boss!
Anyway, I thought I'd start a list of the 100 most annoying/inane office comments ever. The crap you hear over and over around the office and wish you wouldn't.
I'll start it off.
1. "Are we having fun yet?"
"Singing from the Same Hymn Sheet" gets me a winner every time in b**shit bingo!

Oh and "Movers and Shakers"
"Think outside the box"
What the heck is that supposed to mean?!
We're in a box we can't see out of box cos the manager's an ass and couldn't think himself out of a wet paper bag. I guess I think it means
"Lets all quit en masse" then we can see what outside of the box looks like ;) Ach!

You know its bad news when you're supervisor says "Just to set your expectations..."
It's too bad most company health insurance policies fail to cover treatment for "rectal-cranial inversion." Statistically, over 3 out of 4 managers suffer from this malady... or I guess it's more accurate to say their employees are the ones that actually suffer.

It's a very debilitating condition...for the staff ;)
