Juan: Hey, do you have a few minutes to talk about tomorrow’s teleconference?

 

　　Susanna: Sorry, I’ve got to run. I’m late for my department’s weekly brainstorming session. Can it wait?

 

　　Juan: Sure, how about a lunch meeting?

 

　　Susanna: I can’t. I’m holding personnel meetings over lunch all this week. It’s the only way I can fit them in.

 

　　Juan: Okay, how about at 3:00 this afternoon?

 

　　Susanna: Sorry, I have a standing meeting with the directors once a month at that time. Can you come by after the pitch meeting at 4:30?

 

　　Juan: I wish I could, but our department head has called an emergency meeting for this afternoon to do some damage control after the shareholder meeting debacle last week. Well, how about a dinner meeting?

 

　　Susanna: Only if we can have dinner at 9:30. I won’t be finished here until then.

 

　　Juan: Do you ever get a breather?

 

　　Susanna: A breather? I think I’m due for one...in 2030.
