How To Get Along At Work

[Wayne M]

Here are some guides to help you get along at work (and other places.)

So here is a list of some polite ways to express your true feelings without getting yourself fired. (or slugged) (expressions have been "cleaned" up)


What You Say..............................What You Really Feel

1. I'm not sure that's feasible.................1. No way, "butt head"!
2. Really?........................................... .2. You gotta be "kidding" me.
3. I'm a bit overloaded at the moment....3. Screw it: I'm on salary
4. Of course I'm concerned....................4. Ask me if I give a "hoot."
5. You don't say....................................5. Eat "dirt."
6. Excuse me?......................................6. Eat "dirt" and die!
7. Excuse me, Sir?................................7. Eat "dirt" and die, "butt head."
8. So you'd like my help with that?..........8. Kiss my "butt!"
9. I love a challenge..............................9. This job sucks.
10. I see............................................... 10. "Do me"

The "expressions" have been changed to keep my presence here.

Like "You just have a nice day."......... Get your tail away from me

In reference to item #6, my DW has a way with facial expressions that leave no doubt as to what she is communicating. One of those facial expressions is what I have affectionately referred to for nearly 40 years as the "eat 'dirt' and die." look. I been on the receiving end of it many times.
