Unofficial work slogans

[Huskinhano]

We all have them, I thought it would be interesting share. At my current job, it's "Living the dream" :. At a machine company I work at many years ago it was "I cut it 3 times and it's still too short". As I understood from other employees I worked with at the time, that one had some truth to it!

When I used to work for the gummint, it was "We're from the government, we're here to help you!"

And "The floggings will continue until morale improves"

And "I came in late and took a long lunch, so I gotta go home early to make up for it" Civil service was great!

At the trans shop, "That's smooth!" after touching something very hot....from someone checking out how smooth a freshly turned part was, on the lathe, sometime in the past.

Re: Unofficial work slogans

If you're asked why you were late for lunch or break generally I reply "I'm saving the company "
Also after someone sees you picking up and dropping a hot part ,(When you weren't really thinking about what you were doing) , and the smartallic just has to ask if it was hot? Just reply as calmly as possible "No it just didn't take me long to look at it! "

Re: Unofficial work slogans

From 31 1/2 years with the EPA -
"Floggings will continue......"
"Besa ma vaca" - warped Spanish. We were told to stop cussing in front of the manufacturer's reps, so we tried to come up with something generic that they wouldn't get. That was it.
and, most importantly -
"Shit man, I don't know". This could be said with different inflections and made to mean almost anything from "I really have no clue" to "what do YOU think, dumba##?" Try it - it's very useful.

There were also others of a secondary nature, like -
"Close enough for Government work". Of course, it was ALL government work so it was all close enough.
