1. “If you’re taking this seriously, why are you blowing bubbles while I’m talking to you?”
2. “Do more with less. Then we’ll talk about advancement.”  At that moment, I certainly wanted advancement…of my fist on his forehead.
3. “I’m pretty sure I don’t need a psychiatrist.”
   “Ohhh, I’m pretty sure you do.”
4. “Here’s what you have to do. Shut up and follow instructions.”
5. “You keep an eye on my house for a day and you’re expecting a parade?”
6. “Maybe we should take turns.”
7. “The data doesn’t lie.”
   “Actually, sometimes it does.”
8. “Do you really know what you’re doing?”
9. “This is the first stage of total organizational failure.”  
10. “Thanks for the positive strokes. I really needed them right about now.”
