Alex: Can you believe we're still stuck in this call? My eyes feel like they’re about to fall out.

Jamie: Seriously. I’m in the corner of this coworking space, surrounded by people typing away and no escape. I’m so distracted but also don’t want to miss anything important.

Alex: Same here. I’ve been trying not to glance at my phone, but the screen fatigue is real. It’s like my brain’s begging for a break, but nope, back-to-back calls.

Jamie: Honestly, I have a confession. I just scrolled through Instagram for like five minutes during the last presentation. Feeling awful now because I know that deck was crucial.

Alex: Whoa, I thought I was the only one! I keep catching myself on Twitter. It’s like a reflex at this point. But yeah, totally guilty about zoning out when we need to be 100% focused.

Jamie: It stresses me out because professionalism matters, but my brain literally rebels after hours of Zoom. The digital noise just steals my attention.

Alex: Exactly. There’s this weird tension between wanting to keep up and the mental exhaustion dragging me down. We should’ve had shorter meetings or breaks, honestly.

Jamie: Agreed. Maybe we can bring that up in the next call? I’m too wired to concentrate properly now. This endless screen time is killing my vibe—and probably my presentation skills.

Alex: Let’s do it. For sanity’s sake. Also, promise me you won’t check social media during the final part?

Jamie: Promise. I’ll keep my phone face down—even if my eyes feel like they’re melting. Good luck surviving the rest of the night!
