From an IM I just sent to a cow-orker who was whinging about some trivial self-centered tripe he wanted me to take care of for him:
He probably thinks I’m his best work buddy now.
Well, you are trying to get him past his whining to actually do his job, which will actually help him out in the long run. It’s odd how much using sarcasm can get someone else out of their funk.
Better than being the wind beneath his sheets.
I’m hearing the OP in the voice of Wayne Newton in License to Kill. It works eerily well.
