Help the skeptical office worker complete their dramatic message to a colleague.

I am not one to criticize the boss's ideas, so far be it from me to suggest his new marketing plan is completely ridiculous. However, come what may, I am bringing my own coffee to this three-hour meeting. I will even hide under the conference table during the presentation, if need be!

"Far be it from me" is a fixed expression using the present subjunctive. It is used to express that you are not the appropriate person to do something (usually right before doing exactly that!).

However, come what may, I am bringing my own coffee to this three-hour meeting.

"Come what may" is a fossilized subjunctive phrase meaning "no matter what happens."

I will even hide under the conference table during the presentation, if need be!

"If need be" is an idiomatic subjunctive phrase meaning "if necessary."
