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?
