• Is your name Wi-Fi? Cause I’m feeling a connection coming on…
• Is your name Waldo? Because someone like you is hard to find.

cybersecurity everyone else disappears!
• Sorry, but you owe me a drink because when I looked at your code,
I dropped mine.
• Life without you at my company would be like a broken pencil...
pointless.

• I'm no mathematician, but I'm pretty good with numbers. Tell you
what — give me yours and I’ll text you a really cool link about my
company.
• I may not be a genie, but I can make all of your career wishes
come true!
• If it weren't for that damned sun, you'd be the hottest Accountant
