Oh gosh, I found out this morning that my immediate superior (and friend)'s mother died in a car crash last night. I can't imagine what she must be going through right now.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I don't think I was specifically taught how to spell judgment. Both spellings seem fine to me and I doubt I am consistent, although I will obey the red squiggly line if it comes up.
Windsparrow, I neglected to leave encouraging thoughts for you.
Oh, me too! I meant to say something. The first days really are the hardest days, especially when you are getting the training after you have to do the thing. Your intentions to do right by your underlings and clients will see you through in the long run.
My management and people in other departments are irritating me no end today. For totally minor petty reasons, but I would prefer not to have these aggravations when I am swamped with actual work.

Secret message to Jesse: sitewide friends and family sale starting 11/24, see my profile for code.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's awful, Matt.
Connie, American English prefers it without the "e" and British seems to prefer it with, but both spellings are correct. Just be consistent!
I skimmed past the original question, but once I read Zen's answer, I knew what word it had to be.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Matt, that's dreadful. Sympathies and condolences to your friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How awful, Matt!
Thanks, -t.

I'm so sorry Sail.
I was woken at 4:30 with a report that Dad had fainted in the shower. He seems otherwise fine, but argh.

I'll note that most law firms prefer it without the "e."
