[speaker001:] Are you alright, Ethan? You don't seem to be as cheerful as you normally are.
[speaker002:] To be honest, Ava, I've just had a really bad day.
[speaker001:] What happened?
[speaker002:] First, I slept through my alarm and ended up two hours late to work.
[speaker001:] What did your boss say?
[speaker002:] He told me that if I showed up late one more time, he'd fire me. He's so mean!
[speaker001:] That's horrible. Was that the first time you'd shown up late to work?
[speaker002:] That was my second time. The first time, I was in a car accident.
[speaker001:] Is your boss Chinese?
[speaker002:] No, he's from Australia. Before I met him, I thought Australians were supposed to be relaxed and easy-going. I had no idea he'd be so fussy about things.
[speaker001:] What are you going to do?
[speaker002:] I think I'm going to look for another job. I need to find a boss that is a bit more sensitive and optimistic than my current boss.
[speaker001:] That sounds like a sensible plan. Do you want me to help you with your job search?
[speaker002:] That's very generous of you. Thanks for the offer.
[speaker001:] Don't mention it. That's what friends are for!
