If I were the boss...

Beep… beep… Beep. Beep. BEEP

You open one eye and with a reluctant arm reach for the alarm. My God, it’s only 5:30, the birds aren’t even awake yet. In fact the only sound you can hear is the rain hammering against your window. Summoning all the willpower you can muster, you manage to sit up and swing your legs over the side of the bed. Compared to the warmth of your duvet cocoon the room is freezing. You stand up, pad you’re way over to the shower and absentmindedly turn on the tap, spraying yourself with ice cold water. Then its brushed, dressed and off to work.

 

Beep… beep… Beep. Beep. BEEP. Road works. Traffic. Awful bumper-to-bumper traffic.  You glance at your watch, its already 7:40. Shit. You’d better let someone know that you’re going to be late. Menu. Messages. Create new message. Hi there, stuck in tr…THUD!!! No! Oh no, no, no! This CANNOT be happening; you’ve just driven into the back of a BMW. After swapping details in the rain its back into the car and off to work.

 

Beep… beep… Beep. Beep. BEEP. Telephone. You’ve only just walked into the office and already it’s screaming at you. “Do you know what time it is?” The voice comes from behind you, but you know exactly who’s asking. Still dripping with rain you apologize and frantically try to explain. It’s clearly NOT working. You’ll be working late tonight!

 

Beep… beep… Beep. Beep. BEEP

If I were the boss… I’d switch it off!
