Lesson 46 - Non-Stop In the Morning Kathy: How’s the new job treating you? John: So far so good. The work is demanding but it keeps me on my toes. Kathy: So what’s a typical day like for you? John: I clock into work by 8:00 and grab a cup of joe. Then I look over all the reports from the brokers in New York. Doing that alone takes me the whole morning. Kathy: Sounds like it’s non-stop in the morning. John: Yeah. And I usually squeeze in a meeting with the marketing department before lunch. Kathy: You do have a lot of work cut out for you, don’t you? John: Sure do. In the afternoon, I’m off to meet with clients for a few hours. Kathy: I thought my schedule was hectic. I see it pales in comparison to your job. John: It’s not as bad as it sounds. [해석] “쉴 새 없이 바쁜 아침” Kathy: 새로운 직장 어때? John: 아직까지는 좋아. 일이 많지만 그것 때문에 긴장하면서 일해. Kathy: 너는 보통 하루를 어떻게 보내니? John: 8시까지 출근 도장 찍고 커피 한잔 해. 그리고 나서 뉴욕에 있는 브로커들한테서 온 보고서를 살펴 봐. 그거 하나만 하는 데 아침을 다 보내. Kathy: 아침은 쉴틈이 없는 것 같네. John: 맞아, 그리고 평소에는 점심 전에 짬을 내서 마케팅 부서와 미팅을 해. Kathy: 해야 할 일이 정말 많지, 그렇지? John: 정말 그래. 오후에는 나가서 몇 시간 동안 고객을 만나. Kathy: 난 내 스케줄이 몹시 바쁘다고 생각했었는데. 네 일과는 비교할 수가 없다. John: 듣는 것만큼 그렇게 나쁘진 않아. < Key ｅxpressions > ■ The work is demanding but it keeps me on my toes. ■ I usually squeeze in a meeting. ■ You do have a lot of work cut out for you. ■ I see it pales in comparison to your job. < Main dialogue > ■ How’s the new job treating you? -> How is your new job going? * How’s something treating you? = How is it? ex.
