Teresa: Hey, where are you going? We have a meeting in 10 minutes.
Adrian: I’m sorry. I’m going to have to postpone 2. I’m in the middle of putting out fires and I’ve had to clear my schedule to deal with the latest crisis.
Teresa: Can I help?
Adrian: I wish you could. With the new layoffs 3, I feel like I’m being pulled in several directions at once. As soon as I feel like I’m making headway with one problem, I get another thrown at me.
Teresa: I know exactly what you mean. I always feel like it’s crunch 4 time around here because we’re so shorthanded.
Adrian: I’m so tired of everything being urgent all the time and needing attention ASAP. I long for the days when projects had timelines and people followed them. I’ve got to go.
Teresa: Hey, when are we going to have that meeting?
Adrian: As soon as things quiet down.
Teresa: When will that be?
Adrian: I’ll let you know as soon as the latest disaster has been averted 5.
