0:17 Hey Ron, what’s up with you? You look tired!
0:20 Yeah, man. I had a tough day at work.
0:22 Oh, what happened?
0:24 I just had a lot to do and my boss was cranky as usual.
0:28 Just go home and rest. You’ll probably feel better tomorrow.
0:31 I guess you’re right.
0:39 Hey there! Long time, no see.
0:41 Oh, hi George! Yeah! I’ve been all tied up with work.
0:45 What happened? You look tense.
0:47 I’m just in a very delicate situation, I messed up a bit.
0:51 What did you do?
0:53 I was supposed to transfer some money from my boss’s account to a customer but I sent it to a wrong person.
0:59 Oh, no! What are you gonna do now?
1:02 My boss has given me a few days to recover that money or else I might lose my job.
1:07 Good luck, Selena!
1:09 I need it, thanks.
1:17 Hey dude! Why didn’t you show up at the baseball match today?
1:20 I had to work late hours at the office!
1:23 Why? What happened?
1:25 Well, I hadn’t finished my project. So, my boss made me stay late.

1:32 Yes, he does!
1:40 Hey Cathy! What’s up? Are you done with your project?
1:43 No, Janet. I would’ve finished by now but a client has been driving me crazy.
1:48 Yeah, I know, right? They drive me crazy too. What did this one do?
1:54 He’s been calling me up all day pointing out my mistakes in the project. It’s been very irritating.
2:00 Why don’t you ask him to email you instead?
2:03 I asked him, but he didn’t listen.
2:06 What a bore!
