Avoiding Burnout

1. Ahhh...I see the screw up fairy has visited us again.
2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
3. How about never? Is never good for you?
4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
5. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.
6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.
8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant.
9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
10. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of crap.
11. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
13. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a darn.
14. I apologize for staring, I was just visualizing duct tape over your mouth.
15. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
16. What am I? Flypaper for idiots?
17. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
18. No, my powers can only be used for good.
19. You actually sounds reasonable...Time to up the medication.
20. Do I look like a people person?
21. This isn't my classroom. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.
22. You! Off my planet!
23. Does your train of thought have a caboose?
24. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.
25. Whatever grade you were shooting for, you missed.
26. Not all teachers are annoying. Some are dead.
27. I'm just trying to imagine you with a personality.
28. Can I trade this class for what's behind door number two?
29. Chaos, panic, and disorder my work here is done.
30. How do I set a laser printer to stun?
