  • Hi, I'm Jen and with me today is Lee.

  • Did you get my text message this morning?

  • Hi, Jen.

  • Yes, of course.

  • I have brought everything you mentioned.

  • What?

  • I didn't ask you for anything.

  • I've got you this great alarm clock and I've made this lovely pot of coffee.

  • Would you like a cup?

  • No, thanks.

  • But Lee, I didn't tell you to bring anything.

  • Today you did.

  • Look, you said the boss asked to see you in his office.

  • I think you need to wake up and smell the coffee.

  • Yes.

  • Yes.

  • So I've brought some coffee and an alarm clock for when I see the boss to show him I can wake up and smell the coffee.
