Hypothetical 2: You get a call from your boss at 7pm for the third time this week and the seventh time this month. Because you would like to keep your job, you have three options:

1. Cancel your evening plans and get the work completed.

2. Pop open your laptop, skip the second act of La traviata, and kind of get something that sort of looks correct done in the lobby.

3. Tell your boss that you'll be happy to get it done with sufficient lead time, but cannot do so this time. Then, skip the second act while you polish up your resume.
