INGET BESTÄMT !

Korpral Gifting och Orsa Kompani

År 1894 var Orsa Kompani på väg hem efter avslutat regementsmöte. Inkvartering skulle ske nära Komtillmåtta krog i Gagnef. Kaptenen misstänkte att beväringarna skulle förfriska sig och lät korpral Gifting ta löfte av sina mannar, att inte missbruka brännvinet. För att kunna hålla sitt löfte anmälde korpralen - "Kapten! Orsa kompani lovar ingenting bestämt." Kapten förstod, men de bevingade orden har och kommer alltid att missförstås. Man trodde att Orsa kompani inte visste vad de ville - men Orsa kompani stod för sitt ord.

There are days when you reach beyond what you can bear and snap at work.

Instead of saying something completely mundane and unimpactful,

here are a few good suggestions of what you can say under those circumstances.

If you are gonna crack, might as well make it a good one right?

1. I can see your point, but I still think you’re full of shit.

2. I don’t know what your problem is, but I’ll bet it’s hard to pronounce.

3. How about never? Is never good for you?

4. I see you’ve set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

5. I’m really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way.

6. I’ll try being nicer if you’ll try being smarter.

7. I’m out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

8. I don’t work here. I’m a consultant.

9. It sounds like English, but I can’t understand a damn word you’re saying.

10. Ahhhh .. I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again.

11. I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.

12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

13. I have plenty of talent and vision; I just don’t give a damn.

14. I’m already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.

15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

16. Thank you. We’re all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

17. The fact that no one understands you doesn’t mean you’re an artist.

18. Any connections between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

19. What am I? Flypaper for freaks?!

20. I’m not being rude. You’re just insignificant.

21. It’s a thankless job, but I’ve got a lot of Karma to burn off

22. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

23. And your crybaby whiny-assed opinion would be?

24. Do I look like a people person?

25. This isn’t an office. It’s Hell with fluorescent lighting.

26. I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

27. Sarcasm is just one service we offer.

28. If I throw a stick, will you leave?

29. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.

30. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.

31. I’m trying to imagine you with a personality.
