Vacation: The Price of Peace and Quiet

“OMG … Is it morning already?”
“You’ve got to love that commute.”
“I can’t believe how many e-mails I get!”
“This meeting is such a waste of time.”
“We did what? I’ll call the customer.”
“What’s with our server?”
“Oh great. More meetings. (Ugh.)”
“I sent it hours ago. I’ll e-mail it again.”
“You need it when? (Ugh.)”
“So much for MY priority list.”
“I wish the phone would stop ringing.”
“Did that package ever arrive?”
“Sorry. I can’t. I’m on a tight deadline.”
“Are we still in fifth grade?”
“I’ve gotta run or I’ll miss my train.”
“What does he expect me to do from home?”
“I’d better check my e-mail before bed.”
Repeat until retirement. (“Are we there yet?”)
