The Moment You Take Vacation Is The Moment They Need You

I told a client I would be out of the town for several days on vacation, and mentioned it to him numerous times. Then, I receive this text:

Client: “I need you to call me ASAP.”

Figuring it’s an emergency (and currently hurtling down the freeway), I pull into the nearest town, scrambling to find a phone (mine had died), and finally get a hold of the client. 

Me: “Hi, sorry it took so long to reply, I’m in Manitoba. What’s up?”

Client: “I need you to scan a picture for me when you get back.”
