▶ 18. Coffee Break
Louise: Wow! The aroma of coffee really perks me up. You know, I feel there’s a lot of red tape to deal with - no time to take a minute so you can feel refreshed.
I can’t really complain, but I always flake out when I get home from work.
Ted: Hey, Louise, don’t let it get to you. You are putting too much pressure on yourself.
Louise: Yeah, I know, but the world is so unkind to people like me: no boyfriend, just passed the big four-oh. Did you hear that? I'm 40 and not in a relationship.
You know, my schedule fluctuates and my social time has dropped because of my work load. It’s so hard to make time for everything. Seriously, I really need to win the lottery so I can retire early.
