When urgent isn't urgent any more

So today more work was piled onto my "urgent to do" list, and I went to my boss asking "so which one of these urgent tasks is urgent?" In other words, which client is worth most to us so we'll make him happy? Later, my boss started mumbling about "the timing of your trip which is not very convenient" but I stopped him immediately. I need a holiday! Now! Well, six more work days to go but not a single day more.
