12. Going Home Early Because Of Being Ill


A: Can I have a minute?

B: What is going on?

A: I'm really not feeling very well this afternoon.

B: Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.

A: Do you think I can leave the office early?

B: Well, I have some medication here on my desk.

A: I already took some pills and they really aren't helping.

B: It's just that we have the report due today.

A: I already gave Dennis what I have so far.

B: He knows how to finish it?

A: I emailed him detailed instructions.

B: All right, go home then, but leave your phone on so we can call you if we have questions.
