The next morning, I'm jolted out of bed by the sound of my phone ringing.
R: Mr. O'Malley! I wasn't expecting to hear from you...
Mr. O'Malley: Ramona, what time are you coming to work today?
R: Half–past never.
Mr. O'Malley: Is that some kind of joke? This little stunt of yours has gone on long enough.
R: What stunt? After three years of never calling in sick or taking time off, I deserve a break.
Mr. O'Malley: I know this is about the promotion. Look, you weren't the right for the job. We need someone like Felix who will give us good ratings.
R: Then what are you calling me for?
Mr. O'Malley: I have an assignment for you. If you do well, it could take your career to a new level.
R: I have to go, Mr. O'Malley. Give the assignment to someone else.
Mr. O'Malley: But...
R: Goodbye.
Mr. O'Malley: If you're not back at work on Monday, I'll be interviewing your replacement.
R: Do what you must. You can't threaten me, Mr. O'Malley. Goodbye.
Mr. O'Malley: Wait...
After ending the call with my boss, the conversation left me feeling agitated.
