Boss: Nope, I’m all free this afternoon and thought I’d catch up on paper work.
Admin girl: Oh, okay.
Boss: Why?
Admin girl: Because when you leave early I normally give you 10 minutes’ headway and then sneak out myself.
Boss: Ugh, just go already.

Admin: Yeah, sorry, there’s nothing we can do about it. There’s a
problem with the hard lines to our building.
Agent: Oh, I have an idea. I can fax them.
Admin: You can’t. The phones and internet are down.
Agent: Right. Oh! I can send them an email.
Admin: You can’t.
