An unpleasant combination of words spoken to me yesterday

Now,
remember,
there’s
no
prohibition
against
working
evenings
and
weekends,

he said to me on Thursday, as he handed me a project due the Monday after New Year’s weekend.

Out loud, I said, "Got it. I'll see what I can find and I'll get back to you on Monday."

In my head, "Awwww shit....hey, maybe we ought to impose such a prohibition. Look at your waistline! Listen to the boring stories you are repeating all the time. Get out there and get some new material! Oh, and you know how your wife resents you and your kids don't know you? That's probably because of how you spend your weekends and evenings. Consider the prohibition. You'll love it!"
