[originaltext]M: Hey, Jenny. Long time no see.W: Yeah, me too. Hey, Steve, you

M: Hey, Jenny. Long time no see.
W: Yeah, me too. Hey, Steve, you don’t look that well. Are you sick or something?
M: Well, not really. It’s the same old story of the life of an overworked office worker. I am up to my neck on a project, which has to be done by the end of the month.
W: Can’t you speak to your boss about that? Maybe he would allow an extension and you will then have some breathing space.
M: Fat chance. My boss is one of those workaholic types and he expects everyone to work the same way.
W: Wow , sounds like your boss is really nuts. You know I don’t mind working hard but not to the point of killing myself. By the way, I heard your company is setting up a sub-branch in New York. Some of you will be working there, I think.
M: Yeah. We are encouraged to apply.(24)My boss wants me to do some administration work there for him. I have to make a decision by the end of this week. But if I go I have to start it all over again.
W: Why not? I would jump on the offer if I were you.(25)To work in New York must be interesting. Besides, you can ask for a light load.
M: That’s true. Then I wouldn’t have to work under a workaholic manager anymore.
W: Hey.Steve.(25)do you think I have any chance of getting some work there?
M: Hmm.. .are you serious? I thought you were joking.
