  • Hey, what happened? You look upset today.

  • Actually I am a little worried.

  • What is it?

  • I haven’t been feeling very well lately so I couldn’t study much.Tests are near and I’m afraid I might flunk.

  • Well, perhaps you should talk to Professor Dean. Maybe he can let you take the tests a little later.

  • I tried that already and he didn’t let me. How can he be like that?

  • After all I’m just human. I get sick. It happens.

  • Yeah, go talk to him again, Anny. He may reconsider

  • I’m so stressed out right now I can barely breathe!

  • Gosh, calm down, Katy. What’s going on?

  • It’s Eric. I can’t stand him anymore.

  • What did he do?

  • He promised he’d meet me today and called it off at the last minute

  • Who knows? Maybe something urgent came up. I’m sure there’s a good explanation.

  • You don’t get it.This is not the first time. He always does that and never even bother to apologize!

  • Jack! I’m fed up with my wife, man

  • What is it this time ?

  • She’s always cribbing about one thing or another. She’s always saying I don’t have time for her.

  • Buddy, why don’t you just take her out to a nice place from time to time?

  • That’s the thing. Every time I try, she tells me she has other plans.

  • I don’t get her at all. Women are just too complicated.

  • I guess you are right. I love my wife but sometimes I kindda hate her too.

  • Tell me about it!

  • I don't know why Mr. Webster is always shouting at me.

  • Did something happen at the office?

  • Yes. He started shouting at me in front of everyone

  • I know he’s my boss. But that doesn’t give him the right to humiliate me.

  • You know what? You should tell him that such behaviour is unacceptable.

  • I can try but he never listens to me.

  • Tell him anyways! I guess some bosses are just mean for no reason.

  • And I believe I need another job!

  • Actually I am a little worried.

  • How can he be like that?

  • After all I’m just human. I get sick. It happens.

  • I’m so stressed out right now I can barely breathe!
