Office Space

Ok here are a few more Office Space gems. Milton Waddams: [talking on the phone] And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire… If you listen closely to Milton throughout the movie you will hear him mumble the following after most of his conversations: "Ok… set the building on fire…" — Milton Waddams, Office Space

And finally, last but certainly not least. Here is a copy of a memo, I created – in homage to Office Space – back when I was working for AT&T. Anyone that screwed up received multiple copies of this memo. And yes, on my last day with AT&T, I treated my team to the epic saga: Office Space. Aah, those were the days, Corporate America!
