Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A co-worker is exclaiming very loudly that she wants to work from home twice a month so she can better search for jobs during the work day.
Way to go to ruin it for the rest of us.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
But once a month we had actual yummy hand-made bread-y bits. That was delicious. Like, crumbly whole-wheaty dense bread. Mmm.
Someone at my chapel at college made those bread-y bits! And we even got red wine instead of the usual yellow vinegar. SO TASTY.

lisa, the last thing I have from you is from about 10:30 or so, querying on whether to take the lightrail (which I haven't replied to, but yeah, that's probably the best plan.)
Nothing is in my spambox.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A co-worker is exclaiming very loudly that she wants to work from home twice a month so she can better search for jobs during the work day.
In what kind of company does this announcement NOT result in the co-worker getting 8 hours a day of extra free time to look for a job?

One in which her boss went on vacation yesterday.
I do wish her all the best luck on her job search, because it's really no fun sitting next to her, but some of us would like to work from home for other reasons, and she just validates managerial hesitance. Of course she also copped to job-hunting from work, so maybe she just needs her internet access yanked. Or at least to complain about it all much more quietly.

The helpdesk software is replacing the email of the original sender with mine. For every request since yesterday. And I didn't do anything.
I guess it computerly decided I should be the source of all user problems.
