AND THEN I NEED YOU TO...

DON'T DO IT.

DON'T CHECK THAT MESSAGE.

IT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT.

IT ISN'T MORE IMPORTANT THAN LISTENING TO YOUR BOSS.

I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT.

LOOK! THERE'S A SQUIRREL ON THE PRINTER!

I DON'T SEE A SQUIRREL.

DID YOU CHECK YOUR PHONE?

WAS I SUPPOSED TO JUST SIT HERE AND WATCH YOU LOOKING FOR SQUIRRELS?
