Week day at an Office

Nora: Donald, you look so tired. You don't feel well, do you?

Donald: It's not that. I am really tired. I need a rest.

Nora: Take a holiday.

Donald: I can't do it now. We've got a lot of work to do.

Nora: Excuse my curiosity, what do you usually do at your office?

Donald: You'd better ask me what I don't do at my office.

As soon as I come to my office I have to answer telephone calls, sign documents, participate in the talks, discuss the terms of the agreements, send letters and telegrams and do many other things.

Nora: When do you start working in your office?

Donald: We start at 9.00 a.m. This is expected to mean 9 o'clock, not 10 past or half past nine. But some departments are on flexitime, which means that you can come to work between 7. 30 and 9 and leave between 3.30 and 5. We have two 15-minute coffee breaks.

Nora: I see. I suppose, you've got a break for lunch.

Donald: Sure. At 1 p.m. we've got a break for lunch which lasts for an hour.

Nora: Do people work very hard?

Donald: Well, some nations have a philosophy that you work when the boss is around. And if he's not there, you can relax and do whatever you want.

Nora: And it's different here?

Donald: You are paid for your time. Employees are expected to help others if their own desks are clear. You never sit idle or do nothing. You owe your boss your time, since s/he's paying for it. Sometimes my boss even works through the lunch hour and takes work home at night.

Nora: Do you sometimes go on business trips?

Donald: Our employees go to various cities and towns in this country and abroad.

Nora: Have you been abroad?

Donald: Yes, several times. I have already been to Canada, Australia and West Germany.

Nora: Have you been to the USA?

Donald: Not yet. I am planning to go there next year. And you, have you been to the USA?

Nora: Yes, I returned from the USA last month. I spend a fortnight there and visited New York, Washington and Boston.

Donald: It was a business trip?

Nora: Sure.
