hold down the fort
Who taught: Andrew
When Andrew was going to take a long vacation, I came over to his desk to say “take care and see you later” and he told me “Sure, hold down the fort!” I did not know what that means and he told me it means like “take care of the place while I am gone since you will be in the office.”
And after a few months later, I was on vacation with Patrick, Rachel and Jessica. On Sunday, all of us except Rachel decided to go snowboarding and Rachel was going to stay in the cabin. So, when we leave the cabin, I said to Rachle, “hold down the fort!” Good job, Terry! You used it! haha.
