Good luck on the interview, shrift! Dublin would be awesome, right?
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

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.

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
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck, shrift!
Meep, Maria! Dang.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think I need to go home for lunch and throw d loose CDs away and get a bag of stuff over to goodwill. My brain will not stop about getting rid of stuff.
Maria, that sounds crazy. So sorry. Are they offering you any additional help at all?

Thanks all.
The notification went out at 10:30 this morning. I've had a convo with the VP, but I have yet to talk to her boss to figure out exactly how we're going to tackle this.
I haven't been given additional help, but I do have an admin team that I share with others that puts together my bids and proposals, and sends them out.
We'll see how this goes. Shit is going to fall through the cracks. This is a big country.
Jesse - Feb 09, 2015 7:34:45 am PST #18694 of 30000
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, Dublin would be exciting, shrift!
The entire country is mine. "This may be just a one-person job for the amount of government business that's out there."
Yikes.

Oh, I'm all too familiar with "we wish her well..." It's the part where it turned into a verb that struck me.
