TeamLead: Alright, I think that wraps up this zoom. I'll check in with each of you later.
Co-worker 1: Thanks
Co-worker 2: Bye
Co-worker 3: See you all later
Me (already working on something else): Love you; bye.
Should be a norm, IMHO :)
That's how I roll. I always say "bye, have fun" at the end of meetings or saying bye to someone at work. No matter the situation. Has been working fine until now .
Yeah, "have fun" is just good life advice in general 🤷
I forgot the comedian who made this joke, but the example was something along the lines of:
“I love kids!” vs. “I love 8 year olds!”
Also "love kids" must be higher pitched than "I"
"I hope you treasure the coming eighty-six thousand and four hundred seconds."
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes?
6.0833333333333 days?
It's all about the phrasing.
Other things that suffer from this have been listed in memes.
"Butt dial." Vs. "Booty call"
And
"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." Vs. "Sorry Daddy, I've been a bad girl."
Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.
OTOH, "have a great 1440 minutes" sounds sort of like an uplifting Rent reference.
Although you can make it menacing again if you just State the amount of time and give them a thumbs up.
"1,440 minutes" 👍
It's the implication
Dennis, are we going to hurt these girls?
Great, now I'm not enjoying it.
Don't worry you still have ~23 hours left :)
You don't want to know what will happen when the timer runs out... (Hint: the rest of your life)
Well you probably should be
My hilarious doctor, prescribing me medicine that I will take the rest or my life:
"Take one of these every evening for the next 40 years"
“Enjoy your remaining years!”
“Enjoy fucking Jules!”
"Have a nice day" isn't something people actually say to reach other in my country, it sounds so incredibly fake (probably because whenever we hear it, it's American employees repeating the line to their customers over and over, clearly not meaning it).
Funny but what is it with that background picture? A guy who is supposed to look threatening? makes it weird lol
He sort of looks like an off-brand 'most interesting man in the world'
(I stole this meme, so I'm not sure)
Man, Tommy Chong really matured elegantly.
Mick Foley enters the chat.
Why is it a different guy in the meme?
