I wonder which one, if any fit Phoenix? I have always thought him to have the temperment of a priest. I wonder if in real life he is a priest?

Phoenix is a pirate.

NEW WORDS FOR 2004 editions of the work-place vocabulary. Some of these work for people too!
_________________________________________________________________

BLAMESTORMING.
Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project
failed, and who was responsible.

SEAGULL MANAGER.
A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, cr*ps on everything, and then
leaves.

AZZMOSIS.
The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by
sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.

SALMON DAY.
The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get
screwed and die.

CUBE FARM.
An office filled with cubicles.

PRAIRIE DOGGING.
When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and people's
heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on. (This also applies to
applause from a promotion because there may be cake.)

MOUSE POTATO.
The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch potato.

SITCOMs.

work again.

ADMINISPHERE.
The rarefied organisational layers beginning just above the rank and file.
Decisions that fall from the "adminisphere" are often profoundly
inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve.
This is often affiliated with the dreaded "administrivia" needless paperwork
and processes.

404.
Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404 Not

WOOFies.
Well Off Older Folk.

CROP DUSTING.
Surreptitiously passing gas while passing through a cube farm, then enjoying the
sounds of dismay and disgust; leads to PRAIRIE DOGGING.

Some Stephen Wright quotes from his early comedy.

"You can't have everyting, where would you put it?"

"It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it."

Classic. The duck beats everything, hands down.
