Brad: Where’s Celia disappeared to? Don’t tell me she’s gone home already?

Jenny: Yeah, it looks like she has. Her bag and coat aren’t here.

Brad: I don’t believe the nerve of that woman! Here we are with piles of reports to write and a looming deadline, and she’s dumping all the dirty work into our laps! It happens every time! I bet you she hasn’t done a proper day’s work in her entire life!

Jenny: Now Brad, I think that’s going a bit far. She does have a young child to look after at home, you know, so she can’t stay after work as long as we can.

Brad: I can understand her having to go home early to look after her kid, but it’s the fact that she doesn’t lift a finger during office hours that makes me mad! She spends the whole day doing her nails and fixing her makeup!

Jenny: Hmmm, I can’t argue with you there. She does seem to spend more time looking into her compact mirror than she does at the computer.

Brad: If she would just do her share of the work, life would be so much easier for the both of us, and we wouldn’t have to do all this damn overtime.

Jenny: Well, why don’t we have a word with her tomorrow?

Brad: No, I have a better idea! Why don’t we dump all this work on her desk and go out for a drink!
