That does not sound good, Maria.
What does "future endeavored" mean?
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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?

What does "future endeavored" mean?
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.

amych, that's a standard line in every "this person is no longer with the company" email I've ever gotten. It works out well because there's no indication if the person was terminated or left voluntarily. The company's ass is covered and the ex-employee's dignity is theoretically preserved. The truth always comes out though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Lap cats are hard to get away from.
I expressed interest in a position located in Dublin the other day.
Dublin is a cool city!
Is it too early to start drinking heavily?
It is not.
I woke up at 6:30 and fed the beasts, decided I wanted more sleep and set the alarm for 8:30. What time did I wake up? 11:45. WTF. Lucky I don't have to go into the office; I do not have a good excuse.
