Couldn't I for once have you and the work at the same time?

Sigmund Freud
About This Quote

At a time when a person is feeling tired, they often say something like, “I wish I could have both the work and you at the same time.” This has a similar sentiment to, “Maybe I could be at work and have you at my side as well.” In this case, they are asking for two things to be given at the same time. Sometimes, they do not want to give up on one of those things in order to have the other thing. They want to have both of those things at once.
