June: Why do you say that? Cody: Big John just came in and put a stack of papers on my desk and told me to have everything done by the end of the day. June: And since it's three P.M., you'd better get working on it. Cody: I am working on it, but there's no way I'll get it done in time. June: That certainly isn't my ideal way to spend the afternoon. Cody: This is so bad! June: Well, it may not be good, but it certainly isn't all that bad. If you pull through, maybe Big John will start to trust you and give you a raise. Cody: Or he'll just figure out how to leverage me to do his work for him. June: I guess that's also a possibility. I'm new here, so I don't know how he works. What are the papers about? Cody: They're meeting minutes and some meeting transcripts from our staff meetings. June: That stack's nearly a foot tall. Like I said, I'm new here, but do we really have that many meetings? Cody: No! This is from the past seven years. June: Seven years? Why is he having you do that now? It isn't like he hasn't had enough time to do it before. Cody: Corporate asked for them. I think they're concerned that we are not selling as much as they'd like. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!
