A: How’s work at the moment?
B: I’m rather tired.I’m under a lot of preure.I didn’t sleep a wink last night.
A: What’s up?
B: My bo is very pushy.He’s aigned me three projects and now the deadlines are getting close and I still have one project to go.
A: Is there anything I can do for you?
B: No, thanks.I can do it myself, but talking with you has helped.
A: You look very tired.I think you need a break!
B: I know.My chances would be better if they hired more people, but it would raise the pay expenses.
A: Maybe you should talk to the manager.
B: Him? He has such a mean streak now! I just went to his office to ask for some help, and he simply turned up his nose at me! He wasn’t like that before he got the job.Now he’s such a snob! A: Take it easy.Maybe he was very busy at that moment.I’ve heard there is a chance of getting a raise this year
B: Chances are slim! It’s been three years without a raise because the company keeps losing money.
A: That’s too bad.Do you ever think of job-hopping?
B: I have no intention of moving at present.
A: Well, keep your mind on the work.Communicate with others frequently.If you dislike your bo, it will make things difficult.
B: Of course, logically I know you’re right, but the mention of his name starts me fuming.Let’s forget it.How about you?
A: My bo is sending me to New York to attend a marketing seminar this weekend.
B: Wow, I really envy you.Your bo treats you so well.
A: He is a man of sense, wit, tolerance and foresight.However, busine trips also make me feel tired.Moreover, I never spend enough time with my kid; so, there are a few regrets in my life.B: Nothing is ever perfect.
A: That’s quite true.Is there anything you want me to buy for you there?
B: Yes, please get me a Polo shirt.
A: No problem.What are you going to do this weekend?
B: If there’s no overtime, I want to see a film.Can you recommend anything?
A: “Avatar” is a good film.The principal’s acting is excellent.The plot develops well and the special effects are dazzling.I really enjoy it.
B: I’ll see that then.In return, can I buy you dinner?
A: Really? You’re very generous.But a storm is expected today.
B: No, just a shower, it won’t rain heavily.
A: That’s OK.Look out! The bo is coming.Move! Let’s go back to work.
B: Done! See you later.
