    Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

    It's no good (from an evolutionary point of view) to have the physique of Tarzan if you have the sex drive of a philosopher. -- Michael Ruse
    The Nedaverse I can accept, but not the Berzaverse. There can only be so many alternate realities. -- Elok

      "I liked how you did ________. Good work."

      "Good work" is best because work sounds so much more important than job. Being specific on what you like will not give them false notions that their weaknesses are their strengths.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        "Good Work" sounds good, I might add "I appreciate the effort" to the end, or if nothing came of the action

          "I appreciate the effort" can be taken as sarcastic, even if you don't mean it that way.

            Or something like you really did some nice work, I really appreciate the effort. Or you could shorten it to nice work, nice effort.

              "Thanks anyway!"

              "Good work" can sound bad too, if said the wrong way.

              "thanks for your help"

              "you're a life saver man"

                "Here, have a raise," will make them think you're pretty cool.

                    "Does this smell funny to you?"

                    or

                    "Does this look infected?"

                                At my office we have:

                                "Innit!" (for when you finished explaining something)
                                "Darn't lark it!" (or 'don't like it' if you can't speak 'Stralian)
                                "Smashed it!" (for when you've completed your task)
                                One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.
