| Tony: Are you excited for your vacation next week? Carrie: I’m excited, but I’m worried that I won’t be able to finish all of this work before I leave. Tony: What will you do if you don’t finish? Carrie: I guess that I’ll have to take it with me and finish it while I’m on vacation. Tony: You can’t do that! You need to get some R&R. You work so hard all the time. You need to relax and unwind. Carrie: There is nothing else I can do. Tony: I’m familiar with the project. Finish as much as you can before your trip, and I will handle the rest. Carrie: Are you sure? I don’t want to make you do extra work. Tony: I’m happy to help you. Maybe, in the future, you can help me out. Carrie: Absolutely. Thanks again. I’ll fill you in on Friday about what I finished. | |
