Sounds like the employee was asking about touching base, not asking about leaving early. Which I would think it's better to say "can we touch base" rather than "we must touch base"? Or something?
Nah, it was both together.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
No Halloween costumes here. I'll wear my black-cat-and-pumpkin earrings on Monday, and may add a cat ear headband to hand out candy.

Oh, man, Calli, I have so much fennel growing nearby! I don't think we have time for me to cut some and ship it to you, though.

Now I have a problem with Grey's Anatomy! What's her name, the actress, is definitely pregnant, right? (If you watch the show, you know who I mean, and if you don't watch it you don't care, right?)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
If you mean the actress who plays Arizona, she just had a baby.

I don't know about that. I didn't notice, but I'm two weeks behind.

Yeah, Google tells me she's pregnant along with the actress who plays Jo.

Oh, I haven't noticed Jo! Amelia's all open coats and whatnot this episode.

Thanks, -t! I had fennel with my pasta tonight, so I'll call it good.
