were no possible consequences

there was no tomorrow.

the tide of employees leaving for rival companies.
Wow, Mary, you mean business! I don’t know how well that’s going to work.

say, I mean business!
Well, when you put it that way, I guess I could switch to coffee with cream and brown bag it more often.

home

very far, so I think we should brown bag it.
