Conversations at work

(After a meeting with the client that felt like a war, we started talking in the car)

Colleague A:
Next time, in situations like that, don't sit with your back to the door. Like me, I sat facing the door. It's the "power position" and it allows you to have the final word in any meeting.


Colleague A:
No, I like all our people to sit in a row and fight together.

Me:
Sounds like carebears. Stand in a row and shine the rainbow to kill the evil guys.

Producer:
Yah, we want to fight like carebears.

(On a day just like any other)

Boss:
Hey, do you have a stapler? Can I borrow it?

Me:
Yep.

Boss:
No I don't want to use that stapler. Its to cute for a macho guy like me.
(refering to my alligator/cicak stapler)

Me:
Haha. I wonder what S. would say to what you just said. Macho?

Boss:
That's it. Its over for your career, girl. No more prospects.

Me:
Can you give me another chance? What do you want to hear?
