John : I hear your find yourself a new job
last month Jack. What's it like?
Jack : Well, I earn more money of course,

John : Why?
Jack : Oh! He's always blaming me for something. The other day for

the boss called me to his office. He said : " You're getting bad habits. You're
always arriving late. If you don't take your job seriously, I'll fire
you."
John : How unfair! So what did you do?
Jack : I first couldn't say anything.

pleased. Eh ! my plan is working, I thought. So in the afternoon, I told him I wanted to
leave early.
John :That was a good idea. What did he
say to that?
Jack : He said : " but you still have
some work to do". I answered that Jane my colleague could finish it for me. He got
mad at that. " If you don't finish the work yourself, I'll ...." .
