One definition of emergency

"In case you don’t know me well enough, an 'emergency' means that something really bad happened, you don’t know what to do, you thought about it, thought through your options, thought about other people who might help you, called them, they couldn’t help you, you prayed about it, didn’t get an answer, considered your options which should include leaving the country or doing something that might land you in jail, decided that leaving the country wouldn’t work and you’re too pretty to go to jail. If you did all of that and it’s not Monday at 8am, then call me." -- via email from owner of a company, in regard to an office move
