A: Are you alright, Ethan? You don't seem to be as (cheerful) as you normally are.
B: To be honest, Ava, I've just had a really bad day.
A: What happened?
B: First, I (slept through) my alarm and ended up two hours late to work.
A: What did your boss say?
B: He told me that if I showed up late one more, he'd fire me. He's so mean!
A: That's horrible. Was that the first time you'd shown up late to work?
B: That was my second time. The first time, I was in a (car accident).
A: Is your boss Chinese?
B: 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.
A: What are you going to do?
B: 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.
A: That sounds like a sensible plan. Do you want me to help you with your (job search)?
B: That's very (generous) of you. Thanks for the offer.
A: Don't mention it. That's what friends are for!
