Find these and see what Sandra wants you to do with them. -
Pam (She was trying to send a note to a DIFFERENT Jason, and

else. - Jason

Oops-wrong Jason! Sooooooo sorry! - Pam (cc: the OTHER
Jason)

Completed. - Other Jason

He must be a rookie. - Jason

He said, "I can feel you want me there by 8:30 instead of 9:00." - Client PM talking about technical resource...

Here you will find our running list of quotes that we've found especially profound or just incredibly funny (although sometimes, you just really had to be there to get the full impact...), and also terms that we've heard or invented to help us define and explain the world in which we work.

If you're here, it's because you're one of us, or you're liked well enough by one of us to get an invite. Don't you feel special!
