The key is a good trash-stacking system, obviously.
My boss has no chocolates for me. But even if he did, I couldn't eat them, so I suppose it's all for the best.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Reminds me, I need to clear out the passenger footwell. It's just two neatly tied up grocery bags of waterbottles, boxes and such, but...no room for people's feet!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy Birthday, Kristin and Maria!

Shrift, I think that cancer may be contagious. Better watch it.

Nomenclature question:
Say I fill out a form on a web site and it tells me I'll get a reply in 48 hours. They don't mean 48 hours, they really mean two business days. So if I fill it out on Friday, I shouldn't get antsy until Tuesday sometime.
The term business day serves to differentiate from a calendar day. There's no such modifier to hours to parallel this in the example above, is there?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So if I fill it out on Friday, I shouldn't get antsy until Tuesday sometime.
I would assume if you fill it out Friday at noon, you should get a response by Tuesday noon. So it's like "business days" but with more precision. Or you could think of it as literally 48 hours, except "we're not gonna count Sat. and Sun."
There's no such modifier to hours to parallel this in the example above, is there?
"48 business hours" sounds weird. Like maybe you're counting 8 hours in a business day, so a little more than a week in total. Of course that would be a wrong interpretation so... what is my point again?

ita, I've very occasionally seen the term "48 business hours," but frankly I find it a little silly. Unless you're working in a business where the work in question is going on 24/7, they should use the term "business day."
