Middle Buffalo Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) My wife's boss is retiring, and one of the things they always do is buy the person a plaque. She's looking for a nice phrase/quote/saying to commemorate his years of service and how great he was as a boss. Any ideas?

EvilMonkey Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Did he have a phrase or saying that he always used? I had a boss that always used to say 'If you want oragami, you pay for oragami', so we had that put on a sign for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, seriously, wtf does an adult do with a plaque? I have a couple dozen and they sit in a box. Back when I had the big office I had an ego wall and when I was sad I would go rub my cheek against the plaques and remember when people liked me. But now, they are dust collectors. Break the tradition and buy him something he can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now, they are dust collectors. Break the tradition and buy him something he can use. I don't disagree, but I've seen the plaques and they're pretty nice. It's law enforcement, so it will have his shields (for a couple of different agencies he worked), etc. And the guy retiring was responsible for purchasing the plaques in the past, so it's something he likes. I'm just trying to find a quote that suits him. Basically, he's the type of guy that loved his job, and the only reason he's leaving is that it's federal law enforcement, and he's hit the mandatory retirement age of 57.

I take back my comment, I have seen a few of those plaques with the shields, very cool. Now that I have a subject. Law enforcement officers are never 'off duty.' They are dedicated public servants who are sworn to protect public safety at any time and place that the peace is threatened. They need all the help that they can get.

Brian Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Ok, try this one. When watching TV and hav a DVR recording about to start, it switched to the channel to record and the only way I can watch something else is if I stop the DVR totally. Sometimes I can switch while recording, sometimes I can't. Its frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
