@APBBlue I always add "Not a bad thing" or something like that when I send messages like that.
"Got a minute? All's good, just need to talk through some stuff when you've got time."
Is _worth_ the extra mf'n keystrokes. It stops me from having a regular stroke.

Congratulations anyway, though!

@APBBlue my favorite note from a boss was when I was at DISA and we had to filter classified stuff out before transferring to the un-class side so people could do their every day jobs

Am I being fired?My boss is very literal. I had one of these recently and I opened the meeting with "Am I laid off?" and she seemed shocked.
