Dear Heidi,
You have abused me for the last time. I've been putting up with working extra hours (without any benefit to myself) for a while now, but lately my schedule has just gotten ridiculous. Five to eight years ago, working for seventy-two hours straight with only six to seven hours rest was one thing, but now I am getting older and cannot work as hard as I once did. This past week was the last straw. I've worked this whole week with less than twenty hours (including what pitiful amount of sleep I will get tonite) overall of sleep. I am required to get eight hours a night, so I should be at forty-eight hours sleep when I wake up tomorrow... that's less than half. And don't forget that four days this week I have gotten less than three hours. Two days this week I've even gotten less than two hours. Oh, the big kicker, one nite I was not allowed even ONE full hour of sleep!
I thought you cared about me and my well-being. I must have been wrong. If you had even the slightest concern for me, you would not put me through this. I have not been working properly for three days now. I've had to sneak naps in and let your big mouth and other organs take control for me. If you keep this up, you're going to get yourself into too much trouble for me to get you out of.
I'm sorry, but I cannot do this anymore. I need a vacation and am taking one whether you like it or not. It is in my best interest, as well as yours, that we spend a couple days apart so I may recoup. I hope you understand and there are no hard feelings.
See you in a few days,
Your Brain.
PS- I'm taking the body with me, so I guess you're pretty much fucked... but you did it to yourself.
