We have a ton of people out right now. It's eerily quiet. I just threatened to start playing one of those ambient noise sounds-of-the-coffee-shop things and got some buy in from my co-workers.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Because books.
At the vet with Franny, who has a fever and has been throwing up (and apparently has belly pain). My poor old girl. I'm worried.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Fingers and paws crossed for Franny!

Our wings are not tired.
Oh dear, ~ma for Franny.

Aw, Franny~ma!
I'm getting my work laptop! Exciting! And before 3 months officially in the new position that "requires" it. Barely.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Surgery~ma for your roommate, Theo.
Franny, be well!
ND, I've been thinking good and profitable thoughts your way. I hope everything works out in your favor soon.
There's something ironic in being anxious and stressed-out over having to wrap up apprx. 800 tasks on my last work day before leave due to anxiety issues. It's noon already and I've done one of them.

I vote don't wrap them up just forward any relevant emails to whoever and say "I won't be able to address this prior to my leave, see below the relevant information" or something

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good call, meara!
Good luck, Franny.
Gifts with purchase is the main thing I miss, not buying department store makeup.

No word on the surgery so far, but generally it's a no-news-is-good-news situation. Not sure how long it's supposed to take, but this is not the kind of operation that they do as a regular Thing, so being able to predict that it will take 3 or 4 hours is not easy.
