[ This is shaping up to be practically the first time he's ever been chewed out by a boss since he left the army. Thank god he's thousands of miles away. Time to deploy some tact. ]

My bad

[rehandle]

Yes, it is.

[ All around him are (no) familiar faces, worn out (himself), worn out (his face). ]

[snipedt]

[ This... is terrible. ]

I'll make it up when I get back

[rehandle]

If you're lucky.

[snipedt]

You'd miss me if I was gone

[rehandle]

Does doubt translate well over text?

[snipedt]

No

[rehandle]

A shame

1/2

[ Like, fifteen minutes later... listen he's busy ]

You're not really gonna fire me are you

[rehandle]

No. That wasn't a threat. You'll be lucky if there's a job to come back to because I'll be lucky if I can keep this place running in the meantime

You're not my only absentee

[snipedt]

Has anyone ever told you how depressingly pessimistic you are
If not, consider this me telling you

[rehandle]

Maybe I just like to keep my less reliable employees living in vague fear of possible unemployment.

[snipedt]

I'm pretty sure I've been very reliable up until this one thing

[rehandle]

For the couple of weeks you've worked here up until this one time you forgot to tell me you were going on a week+ expedition to Mt. Everest? Mm, my bad.

[snipedt]

To be honest with you it's mostly that I forgot I said I would go to Everest

[rehandle]

[ lol ]

It's going to take you a while to save for a PA on your current salary, but it'll be a good investment

[snipedt]

When your business crashes down around you would you be free to take the position

[rehandle]

No. I don't have the mettle for a job that big

[snipedt]

Shame
This is like two ships passing in many ways
