Are you in a hurry?

For living in such a hectic lifestyle, many people live as if in a marathon race. They go according to a very demanding
schedule and almost never have time for themselves. There's no doubt living like that can cause us many health issues, but that's not what we're discussing today. Actually, I'd like to give you some expressions for the times when you find yourself struggling with such hurry. And if you're just one of many busy people out there, you'll find those expressions came in handy.

Actually, the title of this post comes already with the first expression of the day: to be in a hurry. You can use that expression to tell people you can't give them the deserved attention because you're busy. Maybe you have a meeting in five minutes and run into a friend of yours on your way to work. You haven't seen him in a while and he seems to want to catch up a little bit. The problem is that you really don't have the time to do that right now and want to let him know that without being rude. So you say: I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry right now. Can I call you later? 

After walking past your friend without giving him a bad impression, you've finally made it to work on time. Although you're glad you're not late this time, you know only part of your problems has now been solved. While attending the meeting, your boss tells you to hand him someone's contract in no time. So you ask him: Do you need it now? And he answers: I need it yesterday. Where is it? You may find it weird your boss said he needs something for the previous day since the day has already passed, but that's only a way to tell you how urgent that contract is. It is an emergency.
