Tuesday - Teamwork makes the Dream Work

Just another makeup Monday

The data never lies – The data never lies, but your colleagues will be annoyed if you say this to them.

It is what it is – Much too flippant to say in a business meeting. Only say this around your friends.

Failure is not an option – You’ll feel like you’re starring with Ed Harris in Apollo 13 if you hear this line.

Teamwork makes the dream work – At least this one is funny. But it would be hard to hear in a meeting without laughing out loud.

Earning your chops – I’ve seen far too many resumes with this phrase lately. Better to leave off the cliches when attempting to land a job in a creative field.

Burning the candle at both ends – How about just say that you’re working hard?

Pick your brain – This one has a rather zombie-like appeal.

Am I the only one picturing Super Mario Bros?
