Around the Office
Time off, overtime, equipment, working with people.
One situation, many conversations
In real life “Around the Office” isn’t one conversation. It’s the time it went smoothly, the time something went wrong, the time you had to ask one more question. Each one uses different words, so each one is practised on its own.
