I'm
overwhelmed with a heavy workload.

Derrick complains to his good
friend Terri that he is overwhelmed with a heavy workload....

Terri:

Derrick, don't you think you should take a vacation?
Even one or two days would be fine.

Derrick:

There's no way. There's too much work.

Terri:

But you look so exhausted. You need a break!

Derrick:

I know. My chances would be better if they would hire more people.

Terri:

They won't hire more people?

Derrick:

No.
They always want to keep the cost down. I am really overwhelmed with a heavy
workload.

Terri:

Maybe you should talk to the manager.

Derrick:

Yes.
I'm going to bring this up in tomorrow's meeting.
