“I need this month's report, Miss Kim. I don’t want to hear another lame reason about your maltese wanting your attention from your home. I want the report to be here in three.” 

Great. Another day of listening to her boss who did nothing but to annoy her and never failed to remind her with the monthly reports that she already sent to email days before her great boss asked her. 

She knows her email’s password, right? Oh well. It’s probably her age catching up to her.
