Returning From Sabbatical Gifts

"When did you get back from sabbatical?"

Rip van Winkle goes back to the office/

'William, I've decided to go back to work so I can get a little rest during the day.'

Working Holiday

"Er – if you young people don't mind, I have a few things to do now. Perhaps you have a hotel or somewhere to go?"

"Oh, Mrs. Horris, he just said his first words..!"

The food chain is like a huge corporation, the only one who really enjoys it, is the guy at the top!

"I'm learning to live with existence."

"Is there an option to make my out-of-office message permanent?"

"And so another trip comes to an end...with family brought closer together by a shared experience."

I've given you 110 for ten years, like you asked. Now I'm taking that year off that I've earned!

'She's determined to combine a family and a career!'

Technological Dependence.

'How soon can I return to work? About fifteen minutes ago.'

Well, you and I know it's our home, but our 'smart home' doesn't know it's our home

"I take it this is your first interview since the start of lockdown?"

"I'm so happy to be back in the workforce I'll never complain out loud again about Mondays."

'You know your problem, Harlan? You need to get in touch with your 'inner beach bum'.'

"Now, Mrs. Stevens, go to work, relax, and leave the social engineering to us."

"I'm taking some time off to get away from the stress. See you in ten years."

'Ideally, I'd like a ticket to where ever my luggage is going.'

"I'm back. My family didn't want to spend more time with me."

'Welcome back, Mary. How were the vacations?'

"You're on vacation. Stop trying to type things."

"You're on 'Ask Sadie.' What's your problem?!" "I want to go back to work." "But my son is still so young. I'd have to send him to preschool or day care. And then most of my salary would go to pay for that. So what should I do?" "You should do what we did in my day: Have six more kids and then let them all fend for themselves!" "If your eldest isn't a strong leader, it may get a little 'Lord of the Flies'-ish, but that builds character!" "...in the survivors."

"Home is where the WiFi is."

"If someone hugs me my first day back, I'm going to just break into pieces."

Mother racing to work for a company with day care and a health club.

"The holidays are finished George, get over it!"

'I am not doing nothing... I am perfecting inertia.'

'It's OK to take your work home with you. It's not OK to bring your home to work with you.'

"The holiday was a real eye opener...the crowds,the unbearable heat and noise,the chaos...and that was just at Heathrow."

"Here we use the email term 'out of the office', not 'away lazing on a Spanish beach, without a care in the world.'"

'We took a look at our passport pictures and realized that we need a vacation.'
