Ha, that obvious, huh?

I had the worst commute today.

There was a huge accident on the highway.

Took me almost an hour and a half to get in.
7
Oh no, that's rough.

Did you hear about it on the radio?

or did you just get stuck in it?

I got stuck right in the middle of it.
11
I was sitting there for 40 minutes before traffic even started moving.
12
I should have just taken the train.

Tell me about it.

I've been taking the train for the past month and it's been a game changer.
15
No stress.
16
I just read my book.
17
You've convinced me.
18
I'm going to start doing that.
19
Anyway, are you ready for the big presentation this afternoon?
20
I think so.
21
I stayed late last night finishing the slides.
22
I'm feeling pretty good about it.
23
But I'm always a little nervous before these things.
24
You're going to do great.
25
Your last presentation was really impressive.
26
Everyone was talking about it afterward.
27
Oh, that means a lot.
28
I just hope the client likes the new proposal.
29
We've put so much work into it.
30
I'm sure they will.
31
Hey, have you seen the email that went out this morning about the new project timeline?
32
I saw it come in, but I haven't read it yet.
33
Is everything okay?
34
The deadline got moved up by two weeks.
35
Management wants to wrap things up before the end of the quarter.
36
Two weeks?
37
That's going to be tight.
38
Are people freaking out?
39
A little bit.
40
There's a team meeting at three to talk through it.
41
You should definitely be there. For sure.
42
Good thing I finished those slides last night.
43
At least that's off my plate.
44
Exactly.
45
Hey, do you want to grab lunch today?
46
We could go over some ideas before the meeting. That sounds perfect.
47
The new sandwich place around the corner?
48
I've been wanting to try it.
49
I was thinking the exact same thing.
50
Let's say 12.30?
51
Works for me.
52
All right, I should get back to it.
53
Got a lot to get through this morning.
54
Same here.
