Professionally ignore people with style.

I am not at my desk and neither is my sense of restraint. I am stepping away because my capacity has filed a formal grievance. If this is about scope, invoices, or timeline optimism, it can wait until I resurface. I plan to answer later, assuming the universe keeps me on the payroll. Immediate needs should be summarized in one sane message. Thanks for adapting to the mess with suspicious elegance.
