 Dialogue 1

M: What's on today's agenda?

F: We have an appointment with customer at 9 a.m, three interviews before lunch and a project review this afternoon.

M: What about tonight? Would there be time for cleaning off my desk?

F: Tonight we should have time to catch up banquet correspondence.

M: Good, I'm always working against time to get the letters out.

F: The project review is a week behind schedule, what's causing the delay?

M: We haven't had sufficient amount of time for our review board to meet.

F: Can we still meet the target date.

M: We should be able to, even though this part of project was due a week ago, we can still complete the whole progamme on time.

F: Is that so? That's wonderful! We'll be able to cut down on our overtime.

M: Yes, Oh...look at the time, we shoud be in a hurry to make that first appointment.

Dialogue 2

M: Tomorrow is going to be a long day! Not only do we have performence review scheduled all day, but also still have them filed the reports on our department.

F: I was thinking the same thing, tomorrow is going to be a drag, will you be ready tomorrow?

M: I've been so busy, I can hardly keep up a thing because there simply hasn't been any time to get ready.

F: So, what're you going to do? They will do the review whether you're ready or not.

M: I will just have the faced performence review on prepared.

F: You can't use being too busy as an excuse, we're all equally busy, but some of us put it a lot overtime.

M: There is more work than there is time!

F: I know things are specially kayotic now, but we can't afford to make excuses, you've got to get better at the meeting deadlines.

M: Yeah, may be you're right, we should probably quit complaining about our deadlines and get to work, there's no time to lose now.
