That's "new" for me
I ask genuinely curious, why "new Amsterdam"?

Yes, it's probably "neue" for you!
From Wikipedia:
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626.

You can also find this back in the name of parts of New York. Brooklyn = Breukelen, Harlem = Haarlem, Flushing = Vlissingen, Wall Street = the original wall around the dutch city etc. One of the Dutch governors was Peter Stuyvesant (same as from the cigarettes).

Hopefully this will keep my colleague away...she has her own space in my home/office and comes here when she needs help or has a pet project that demands my unwavering attention. (to direct me)

But this was set off in the beginning of December - when I was told they needed my office space and I should only work from home. Should I come in, find a space if I can and VM->RDT->Work Station (essentially like I'm doing now).
Not having a nest of my own, however, is annoying. No place to stash my goodies and all that stuff I've accumulated over the years now has come home (where to put it?).
It's been said that they brought wrath upon themselves and all of us by poisoning their (and everyone else') Karma with my ouster from the premises.

Doesn't matter that it's a woman. Most British men dress the same way at home.
