I guess that means you get the corner
office – the most sought-after piece
of real estate in any office.
* sought-after:
desired; coveted
ex> After Picasso died, his paintings
were the most sought-after works of art in the world.
You’re going to be up to your eyeballs in work for a while, just getting up to speed.
What kind of personal touch are you
going to add in here?
* up
to one’s eyeballs in: overwhelmed or excessively busy with something
ex> The freelancer was up to his
eyeballs in writing and editing projects.
* personal
touch: the addition of one’s personality to something
ex> As a personal touch, my
girlfriend used to kiss the notes she left for me with her lipstick.
Very funny, but I think you should wait
to decorate it with “leisure class”
items until you find out how much of a raise you’re getting.
* leisure
class: the extremely wealthy who do not have to work
ex> The leisure class can
never understand the problems of the working poor.
Oh, I already found out what my raise
will be. Let’s just say I won’t be
buying a boat anytime soon.
* let’s
just say… : an indirect way of answering a question without stating the
obvious.
ex> A: Do you like ice cream? B: Let’s just say there’s no room in
my freezer for anything else.
