Jesse, it's ridiculous that you have to be at work today. Please be careful heading home.

Oh jeez, Maria. I know how that feels, and it is a super sucky feeling. I hope you are able/allowed to push back a bit and have others share the burden soon!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There are very few of us in the office, obviously. It's just so dumb that any of us are! At least I get tough points.

Oh dear, Maria.
I need to remember to bring some Claritin in to the office so when I forget to take it at home it'll be here. My body has just reminded me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Am dressed and ready to go to work myself, except there's a cat on my lap.
OH NO. Were you able to make it out okay? Should we send help?
Glad I stopped watching Downton. Edith was the last character I actually liked.
Maria, that sucks. Sorry your counterpart got future-endeavored (great turn of phrase though). Does this mean there are no plans to replace him/her and it's all you now?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
That does not sound good, Maria.
What does "future endeavored" mean?

Zen, she obligingly moved to the writing desk and let me leave. I was only a little late.

I expressed interest in a position located in Dublin the other day. They want to do a quick interview this week. It's good that I'll be in NYC because that will cut an hour off the time difference.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Yeah. We were friends. As for sharing the burden, we'll see.

Just got off the phone with my VP. Nope. The entire country is mine. "This may be just a one-person job for the amount of government business that's out there."
Is it too early to start drinking heavily?

Sophia, my counterpart is no longer with the company but "we wish her well in her future endeavors."
