  19. (John) I am so unhappy at work. I had another argument with Bob today. I just feel that it's never going to work out. • (Mary) Why don't you speak to your supervisor? He could help. • Yeah, but it's not his problem, is it? • How about writing to the MD? I'm sure he'd like to know what's going on in the workplace. • Yeah, you can see me doing that...he's one of the problems.

You're obviously not in the slightest bit interested in actually solving the issue. • I don't know why I even bother talking to you about my problems. • You know how difficult things have been for me since my mother died. • Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you... let's... • Oh go to hell. I cannot stand the way you always criticise me.
