Now that we've talked about the new vocabulary, let's listen to the story again, this time at a normal speed.I look at the clock and it's already 5:30. It's quitting time!
I still need to put the finishing touches on my report, but I can do that on Monday morning before I submit it to my boss.
Some weeks I have to take work home and burn the midnight oil, but not this week.I have everything under control and I don't need to work over the weekend.
I pack up my briefcase and shut down my computer.I put some important papers back in their folder and leave it in my desk drawer for safekeeping.
I take the papers and files from my outbox and put them in my coworker's inbox.But when I get back to my desk, another coworker has put some new memos and papers in my inbox!
I like to clear my desk as much as possible at the end of the week to avoid clutter, and I guess everyone else does, too!I look at my desk one last time to make sure I haven't left anything behind, and I'm ready to head home. Weekend, here I come!
That brings us to the end of our ninth lesson.In our tenth and final lesson, I'm going to talk about socializing with coworkers.
