Thank you

I think the piece "comes to mind" need the text from before it to add clarity. "... as soon as the boss leaves on vacation" could be used two ways. 1) Without any supervision from the boss, we can play or be lazy at work (goof off). 2) As soon as the boss is away on vacation, something important comes up -- an important decision needs to be made or something goes wrong -- and the employees can't make the decision (or don't want to out of fear).
