how about "its not a problem, its an opportunity"
- Gucci0
I don't know why some people feel the urge to tell me how much what I'm working on is worth, like they're doing the company SUCH a HUGE service.
them: that ad you're working on is costing the client $500,000.
me: I don't give a flying peanut butter covered fuck. I won't ever see a fraction of that money.

"you make the difference"
it's on all of out collateral and is branded into our brains the second we walk in the door.
ok then cockbag, if i make such a difference why are you paying me shit when we just got a company wide phone message 2 days ago praising how we're going to make 320 million in the next 3 weeks. AND, yesterday when it was snowing like a mutha, did you all leave at 1 cause it was so bad, but have us all stay here till 5 when it had turned the roads into a nightmare. yeah. i make the difference.

My boss always says " Let's face it designers arent marketeers. Designers just make things pretty and if they were to own a business it would fail."
And..
"Can we watermark a picture there and another one there on that?"
"The message is not clear... It needs to pop more."
And cant forget the classic
"Discover the (company name here)'s Advantage/ Difference !"

"F.Y.I."
"Oh, uhn uhn."
"Did you get that memo about the TPS reports?"
"Where did you go? We were looking all over for you."
"So, you're doing that thing you're supposed to be doing? OK then."
"I'll be out of the office, but I'll have my phone with me if anybody needs me."
Me thinking ... "you don't do anything. Who would need to talk to you?"
