She is in the supermarket and she doesn’t know what to buy. She’s talking on the phone with her boss, a demanding woman who only cares about herself. She uses her assistants like slaves, and Andrea is one of her supposed slaves. The boss ordered her to prepare her daughter's birthday party. She is deciding what to buy while the boss is telling her what else she has to do. Pick up boss’ clothes from the laundry, renew her daughter's passport, look for a place to hold the party…
She is so stressed. She only thinks that she needs some quiet time -some time to herself. She wants a vacation. She is going to try to pretend that she’s sick. Maybe this way she can stay home and just sleep or watch TV. She hasn’t watched TV for at least two months now. She deserves a break. (or a breath of fresh air)
She’s still listening to the boss. Get the car from the mechanics, buy a sweater, do the daughter’s homework… the boss is only saying stupid things. She is thinking about hanging up on her. But she hasn’t got enough courage. Well, but deep inside she wants to do it, so she has to get up the courage and hang up the phone. She’s going to lose her job but it doesn’t matter. She needs a break. One… two… three…

-beep, beep, beep, beep
