Workplace catchphrases
The Boston Globe asked readers for their favorite work catchphrases in yesterday’s paper, and this one really got me:
- “Can’t get nine women to have a baby in a month” is the standard answer to when some exec asks for an unreasonable amount of work to be done in a week and thinks they have the solution by hiring a bunch of consultants.—Liz Clauser, South Boston
Another good one was:
- “Do the red one!” in the same tone as the car commercial where the kids are watching the guy wreck cars. It means [Quality Assurance] has to test the software again.”—Jim Fritts, North Reading.
We don’t have any work catchphrases here that I can think of, but maybe I’ll try to implement a few now that I’m feeling inspired.

Just starting out as a freelance meeting planner and I am wondering how to go about charging for a one-day conference in New York City that involves securing meeting space, catering, AV, printed materials, onsite management, registration and budgeting.
Please help
