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.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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
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!!
Yeah. We were friends. As for sharing the burden, we'll see.
Does this mean there are no plans to replace him/her and it's all you now?
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."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Good luck on the interview, shrift! Dublin would be awesome, right?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
my counterpart is no longer with the company but "we wish her well in her future endeavors."
Holy crap that's the creepiest business euphemism yet.

OK, now I've caught up and had my mini-freakout.
Jesse, that is terrible that you had to work today. Please be safe getting home.
Job~ma, shrift. I'd love to work in Europe, and it's an added bonus that it gets you out of your current toxic environment.
