Mil cosas

A day in the life of Travis and Anne does not simply begin and end, giving way to a fresh start. No; their hyperactive existence is built instead upon a perpetual, exhausting day that makes it impossible to disconnect from reality for even a second. The breakneck pace of the big city, the constant rushing from place to place, the endless string of tasks the couple tackles without respite, the sudden shocks, the haste, the stress, raising a young child, the scattered focus, and the ever-present list of unfinished business all combine to create a frenetic lifestyle that the reader might well recognize as their own. On the eve of their vacation, and in sweltering heat, both have a thousand things to resolve, all of which seem urgent. Yet, a hallmark of modern life is the inability to pinpoint where true importance lies, so every minor decision, task, or setback is treated as a matter of life and death. Travis works at a magazine, and it is deadline day. While he is haunted by the terrifying thought that he is about to be fired, all manner of unexpected problems keep cropping up around him. Anne, meanwhile, is fed up with the customer service department where she works; tensions with certain colleagues threaten to blow the office apart. Making it to the end of the day is not going to be easy.
