R: how was your day? J: let’s start with you. How was yours? R: it was really busy. I had to work straight through my lunch break. J: did you get to leave early then? R: my boss told me that I could either go home early or take a long lunch break another day, so I decided to wait and take a long lunch break another time. J: it was nice of your boss to give you an option. My boss would never do that. R: let’s get back to you. How was your day? J: it was horrible! It was just one thing after another. R: you look pretty upset. Are you ok? J: I’m fine. But I have bad news. R: what’s that? J: I got sacked today. R: you’re kidding! How did that happen? J: well, I was late to work today. It was the third time I was late this week. R: how late were you? J: only about 5 minutes. R: you got fired for being a few minutes late? J: my boss is really picky about that. He never arrives late, usually works over-time, and always gets his work done on time. J: oh well. You never really liked your boss anyway, did you? |
