E: I haven't met you at the gym for a long time.
B: yeah, I quit my job, and started working from home. Recently I've got a project to deal with and don't have much time to work out.
E: why? You have a decent salary, lots of promotion opportunities and a regular life of going to the office at 9 o' clock and coming back home at 5 in the evening.
B: it's not about pay raise or promotion. You know,I hate getting up early in the morning and coming back home late at night.
E: then SOHO is your ideal work style.
B: yeah, as long as I have a computer and internet access, I can start working. I recently enjoy working in my own place and at my own pace.
E: and you don't have to work under that much pressure and control.
B: absolutely. I can decide when and what to do all by myself.
E: sounds great. Are there many business opportunies?
B: yea, I can find enough online.
E: it's good to have business around. But you should also do some exercise to keep fit.
B: thank you for reminding me. I'll continue to exercise as soon as I finish this project.
