Thanks for all the condolences, all.
Look, I have a shiny new/old/refurbished name!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great. Now I'm going to be totally fucked up with how to refer to you.
Why is this not about me?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, sniff.

I join Jesse in sniffling.
I suppose I could change my board name to Spare Cat for karmic balance, but trust me, that's not a feline persona one wants to adopt.

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
Aww, Lee.
Someone pass the tissues, please.

Just don't call me late for dinner!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In re the cruise ship - I heard somewhere that when the captain was complaining about it being dark, De Falco asked him if he wanted to go home ... and Captain Clueless pretty much said yes.

Oh, Lee, I am sorry.
I am sick. My coworkers must hate my coughing fits, but I only have a total of 15 hours of leave right now. And I have meetings tomorrow.
OTOH, I feel kind of exhausted. I thought it was chronic sinusitis, but why am I coughing so much?

Given that it's been snowing all night, wouldn't it have made sense to just cancel the whole day, rather than have people drive in and then (in some cases) turn right around and go home?
Yes. Yes, it would.
My employer does this kind of stuff all the time. Usually it's letting people go home early at the height of the storm, causing mayhem on the road.
My new incompetent coworker is trying very hard to suck up to our new overlords. I was emailing back and forth with one of them to reschedule a meeting today, and she kind of butt into the conversation to take credit for rebooking the meeting room. HMOG.
