“hello.”
“hi, jack, it’s sheila. i haven’t heard from you in a while. how are you? ”
“i’m exhausted! you haven’t heard from me because all i ever do is work these days. i’ve had one deadline after the other for the past two months. i worked over 100 hours last week! i don’t have time to keep in touch with anyone lately, not even my own mother! how are you? ”
“oh, i’m great. i’m so sorry to hear about your work load. no wonder you haven’t been in touch. i hope you’re finding time to take care of yourself. are you eating right? ”
“ha! are you kidding? i haven’t had a decent meal in three weeks. i’ve been living on nothing but junk food. when would i have time to cook? "
“oh, right. i’m sorry. that’s just terrible. are you at least getting enough sleep? ”
“what do you think? i’m too stressed out to sleep at night, like most people do. i bet my boss would think that’s a good thing – since insomnia allows me to work all night. the only time i really get to sleep is at my computer, but i don’t have any control over when that happens.”
