-When approaching someone at their desk: "Working hard or hardly working?"
-When approaching someone that's working on a long term assignment: "Aren't you done yet?" (Have to be careful with that one)
-A greeting when returning from lunch: "Back to the salt mines"
-A greeting when arriving in the morning: "Another day, another dollar, but in my case, fifty cents."
-A question to someone who is leaving to go home on time or maybe a half hour early: "Half-a-day today?"
