My old boss, who's a Harvard grad:

".....over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go."

Here's another:

"We understand you need more help in your department, but we've discovered your job only requires a man and a half." Holy s#!t. - Og

From: the moral high ground
Any computer problem, whether it be locked up screen, printer spewing paper, or any output scrambled in some way,
my boss would take it all in, ponder for several seconds and then make his contribution....

..."This tells me there's something wrong."

Now, everybody in the office says it when there's a glitch.

A continuation:

"If you know someone who can come in with the skills needed, feel free to give them an application. Keep in mind that we're not hiring right now, though."

I'm sure you guys are starting to realize that I work for a bunch of friggin' nut jobs. But, for now, their payroll checks haven't bounced. Yet. - Og

"I have a very important job for you today, make sure this gets on the flight I guaranteed it would be there".... I asked him which flight, and for one thing that flight number didnt exist so I asked him which city it was going to... we didnt even fly there

From my last job:

"Make sure all those loads move tonight, but hold the trailers"

Got a call early one morning "Why arent you at work!", "Ummm, its Saturday", my boss "Huh, then why the hell am I here?"
