Handy Latin Phrases

Sundae · 01-28-2009, 08:49 AM

I had a latin phrase book that had things like that in.
It really cracked me up.

There was one for the photocopier being broken, which I put on our photocopier/ printer/ folder of huge sheets of computer paper when it died - usually every Friday when people were trying to get merchandising packs out in the post.

Okay, I was 19... and I did have it on there in English too.
One of our Directors saw it while at the drinks machine (next to it) and that was one of the reasons I was completely spoiled by top management in that job. Didn't help my career, but I got to do an awful lot of fun stuff around it.

When I left, I made a sign for my favourite IT bloke (handmade and very smart I have to say) with purgamentum init, exit purgamentum on it. Very appropriate for the system of recording data we had - if I do say so myself.
