did you get my email?
I certainly did. Do you want to come in and give me some feedback about your weekend?
sure.
how did the business trip go?
well, to be honest, nothing is more stressful than going on a business trip with our boss.
I understand. The last time I went on a business trip with the boss, I didn't even have enough to eat!
I also think the company is pretty cheap with travel expenses. I spent half of the weekend on a train! Surely they could have afforded to buy a few plane tickets!
our company is quite conscious of the environmental problems that frequent flying causes.
I see. Well, then perhaps they could give me a few days off after a business trip. It was really tiring for me.
I can ask the boss about giving you the day off today.
thank you. I can't imagine getting much done today. I'm just too exhausted!
no problem. Did you bring any gifts back for your department?
