Like I told you before, we just don't have the resources to hire you an assistant. 

I understand that, but the fact is we are understaffed.

the timing  is just not right. The economy is bad and is too risky to take on new staff. 

Yeah, I guess you are right. Here is an idea. What if we hire an intern? She would take some of the weight off my shoulders. Yeah, you know, a recent graduate, she could give me a hand with some of these projects and we could keep our costs down.

That sounds reasonable. Let me see what I can do. Tony, I'd like to introduce you to your new assistant. 

OK, great. Let's meet her.

I'm Adam. 

Hi, I'm Tony.

What can I do for you? 

 I'd like to check in, please. I have a reservation under the name Anthony Roberts. 

Alright, Roberts. Oh, Mr Roberts. We've been expecting you and here's your keycard to the presidential suite. 

 But there must be some mistake. My reservation was for a standard room. 

 Are you sure? Let me double check.

 Yeah, here. This is my confirmation number.

All right, Mr Roberts, there seems to be a mix-up. Unfortunately, we're over booked at the moment.  not to worry. We're pleased to offer you a complimentary upgrade. 

Presidential Suite, baby.

Boss:Daniel speaking. How may I help you?

Julie:I am feeling quite ill today.

Boss:I'm sorry to hear that. What's wrong?

Julie:I think I'm coming down with the flu. I have a headache, a sore throat, a running nose, and I'm feeling slightly feverish.

Boss:Your calling in sick

Julie:Yes, I was hoping to take the day off to recover.

Boss:Try and get some rest.
