对话内容:
Matt:Hey Jane–what’s the matter?
Jane:It was a rough day at work–the boss blew up at me when I told him I hadn’t finished a project on time.He said I was lazy,unreliable,and that I had really let him down.
Matt:Sorry to hear that.
Jane:What really pisses me off is that there were legitimate reasons for the delay,but he didn’t even let me explain.He just yelled at me for a solid 20 minutes before he finally calmed down.I was so shaken up that I left early to try and pull myself together.
Matt:Aw,I feel for you.I’ve worked with a number of people who flip out when something doesn’t go exactly according to plan.
Jane:How do you cope with co-workers like that?
Matt:Try not to let their comments get to you.Remember that some people lash out at others when they’re under a lot of pressure.
Jane:True.I’m dreading going to work tomorrow,though–my boss is probably still fuming about the whole situation.
Matt:Don’t fret about it–just do your best work in the future,and he’ll eventually get over this one incident.
Jane:I hope so.
Matt:Hey,I know what’ll help cheer you up–how about seeing that new comedy movie everyone’s been raving about?
Jane:Oh,my sister saw that the other day and loved it–she said she was cracking up the entire time.Let’s definitely go!
