Everyone, pay attention! This is the first day of work after the holiday. Surely your hands are all stuffed with mail. Do your best to get it all dealt with before going home today.
Boss, really? We have catch up like this on the first day back?
我也没办法。是大老板的吩咐,说新年希望有个好的开端。我也只能照做,大家多担待担待。晚上我请客。

There's nothing I can do. It's at the instruction of the big boss. He said he hoped the new year could get off to a good start - so, that's all I can do. Everyone will just have to bear with me. Tonight's on me.
Agh! I can't find the energy to do anything. I can't keep my mind focused. I'm as tired as a chicken with the plague.
