Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Is Nissan going to replace it?

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

The 2017 model year ordering period is closed, so they have to find one out of dealer inventory. I just hope they don't lose this one too... or screw around so long that there's no more of that color and option combo on the ground.

How the fuck do you lose a 3000 lb car between production and shipping it to the dealer?

Maybe someone used a SQL injection attack on one of their servers, downloaded the password hashes, used Jack the Ripper to match a hash, logged in, and forged the paperwork to have car delivered as a fleet sale to a fictional company?

Hypothetically.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Maria, that is some kind of bullshit. And weird as hell, to boot.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And to be clear, what I was asking her to do was participate in team planning for the fiscal year. That's where she is afraid she will not feel emotionally safe. Due to sadness over a coworker getting a different job??

Good lord. I'm good friends with someone we had to fire and I probably paused for a second to wonder if it would be awkward the first time her name came up, then said screw it and went ahead. People still exist once they leave a job, and so do their accomplishments.

Hah. You haven't thought about it at all.

Tep, it is a whole boatload of bullshit. I laughed like a loon when the email came in. The dog was seriously concerned.

Gud, do we need to congratulate you on a new car?

That's ridiculous, Maria! Expensive, too.

I can neither confirm nor deny that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maria: What?!?!? I would have said that was nuts if I didn't now have a pretttttty good idea of what happened.
