[usr] A co-worker told me we were going to have a lot of work coming up [qst] ask me for further details [bhv] I'm in a negative mood, please comfort me.
Is that good or bad?  Sometimes extra work can be a blessing, unless you are salaried, then it's just more work.
A co-worker mentioned that we were going to have a lot of work coming up.  I hope it isn't too bad
