Daddy on being busy...

"Sorry it took so long.  I've been proverbially snowed under,"

"I'm very busy.  My head's spinning like a horror movie."

Daddy:        "I've been trying to write an email for the last two days.  I'm too busy to answer the phone."
Silence.
Daddy:        "I've been trying to write an email for ages.  I'm soooo busy."
Silence.
Daddy:        *big sigh* "I've been trying..."
Mummy:     "Who is this directed at?"
Daddy:        "Anyone who's interested."
Mummy:     Oh good.  Not me then."

Colleague:    "When you get a spare minute could you help me..."
Daddy:          "I never get a spare minute.  On the plus side your day goes quicker.  before you know it it's Friday evening.  The week flies by.  before you know it it's Friday evening.  On the down side your life is speeding by.  Before you know it you'll be dead."
Mummy:        "Bloody hell.  He's off again."

Daddy:        "I'm so busy I don't have time to do everything I'm asked to do.  If I did I'd have a heart attack by the end of the week.  Dead."
Mummy:      "Cheerful bugger aren't you."

"We didn't have time. We were rammed off our feet.  Absolutely rammed off."

Daddy:        "Good afternoon."
Customer:   "It's still morning."
Daddy:        "I'm so busy I haven't got time to worry about what time of day it is."

"I'm really busy.  I know everybody says that but I'm more busy than anybody else."

Claims he's busy but wasted twenty minutes talking on the phone about some TV programme from the 60s.

Phones someone but is told they are on lunch:
*huge sigh* "Lunch.  I wish I had time for lunch." *even bigger sigh* "Lunch is a luxury."

Just spent ten minutes explaining to someone on the phone why he is too busy to talk to them when the thing they wanted to talk about would have only taken five minutes.

"I don't care about pipe.  When they ask me what's the pressure...who cares.  Pressure is what I'm under."

Colleague:    "How do I find a suppliers phone number?"
Daddy:          "The only way you can do that is to start creating an order, then cancel the order then the phone number pops up at the end."
Colleague:     "That sounds a bit long winded."
Mummy:       "Or you could look in supplier enquiry."
Daddy:          "There's no such thing."
Mummy sighs, goes over to his computer and clicks the button that says "supplier enquiry".
Daddy:          "Well I never saw that before."
Mummy:       "In eight years you never noticed that button on your homepage?"
Daddy:          "I've been too busy."
Mummy:       "For eight years??"

Mummy:       "Oh you have a cup of tea.  That looks like a nice cup of tea.  Did you not make anyone else one?"
Daddy:          "I haven't got time to make everyone a cup.  I'm too busy.  If I start making everyone tea I'll make cock ups."

Not saying that Daddy is working too hard but he just asked for a certificate of conformity with his coffee.
