    My last communication with my union, former-government supervisor was “enjoy the camping”, to which she replied like a human: “there will be much libation!” One ‘b-bye’ round and that was it.

    The point: WE DO NOT NEED TO COMMUNICATE LIKE STUFFY ROBOTS.

    We can ask “what’s the ETA on this” if that’s how we’d speak to people naturally and is in line with how they expect to hear us. We can say “I blew it, and I’m gonna need a week to revise all the things” (with the meme).

    No shared history to guide meme use? Just be yourself so you don’t go crazy maintaining this act. Assuming your regular self isn’t insulting or rude, you should be good; if you’re not good, despite being a normal human, the job sucks ass and you should bail.
