I declined the meeting. Got invited to a smaller meeting. About the meeting I declined.

Out of office. Back Monday. The org chart will not be the same.

Do I look like I have social energy?

We did the spreadsheet on having a second. The spreadsheet said please consult a fortune teller.

Make the living room a home office. We weren't using it for living.

We're letting you go as part of our continued effort to run the company without you in particular.
