It's the part where it turned into a verb that struck me.
That was all me. It's been my shorthand for years.
Yep. that seems to be the most likely scenario. I'm sorry, Maria.
This is going to be fun in all the ways that aren't.

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'm sorry, Maria. That's a lousy situation.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My company has not actually standardized the notifications - sometimes we get something along the lines of future endeavors, sometimes there's a terse "X is no longer with the company" and that's it, and sometimes there's no actual notification, just e-mails start bouncing. It's disconcerting.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
That sounds like my company -t. I found out last week that someone who I email information to regularly is no longer there. They haven't turned off her email or notified us out in the field. Very unsettling and super unprofessional.

Dublin would be awesome, right?
I've never been there! I'd finally get to see Ireland, though, right?
I'd love to work in Europe, and it's an added bonus that it gets you out of your current toxic environment.
Until recently, I hadn't really considered working abroad. But I don't have pets or kids, so I'm just going to be open to the possibility and see what happens.

Ooh. A job in Dublin would be really cool, shrift!
I've started doing work but am pausing to get food and drink.

Suzi, what genres/authors do you enjoy?
I don't know anymore (not helpful, I know). I've read the Fire and Ice series, CJ got me to read the Eragon series, ummm, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, just reread Diary of a Young Girl, and the Other Boleyn Girl over the last year.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Fingers crossed for shrift and Dublin.
At my workplace, we get goodbyes and good lucks and we will miss you's (and one person who persists, despite being begged multiple times not to, in announcing with either great sadness or great sorrow, which *always* makes it sound like he's about to announce a death) if someone is moving to another spot within the uni; if they're a faculty member moving on to heading another uni or a swanky state or federal post we get an announcement from the chancellor; but if someone is sacked they just vanish (unless their signature is needed on a regular basis, in which case we get a brief email telling us that they're no longer signing, the interim signer is [Name], and we'll be notified as soon as a permanent signer is in place, but never, ever any details).
