Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was definitely odd, Nilly, but hopefully, pending scheduling considerations, we can mostly recover. I'm still going to look less good to my boss, but that's just something I need to make peace with. I need to be all over the follow-up today, like a pitbull on a haunch of venison.
I just need to decide if I'm up to doing that from the office today.

So a small-caps "yay"?

Despite everything?
Is it some sort of "thinking only in that one single way" scenario, where nothing one can do is able to change the way another person looks at things? Because then, well, it's just like you said - the only thing left to do is making peace with it.

I guess you don't need yet another person asking you how you're doing physically, so I'm not going to ask. I just hope you won't have to make that sort of decisions again, soon.

Ann, that's a ferret.
On top, Ms. Gibson looks like she forgot to put on a top over her slip. On bottom, she looks like she's ready for a "Roaring '20s"-themed party.

My best angle is to go in and paint myself a hero, struggling through horrendous odds, and arising triumphant with the test results in one hand, and the heads of my enemies under the other arm.
The status meeting is at 1.

Will you have the heads ready by then? [Edit: I mean, you seem to have everything else under control, right?]

The heads need to start returning some phone calls. Whether this all happens from here or from the office, it'll be a lot of calling and nagging.

So they still need to have some sort of fingers attachted to them? Because I had all this image of the heads spiked like the Rohirim did to the Orks in "The Two Towers", when you hand them in to the boss. But I see your point - those sharp sticks will make them difficult for you to carry. And, of course, to return phone calls. So, no.
a lot of calling and nagging
Oh, I'm sorry.
