Carol: Hi Adam!
Adam: Hi?
Carol: How are you? Alright?
Adam: (sigh) Tired.
Carol: You look it. Did you have a bad day?
Adam: Not great. I didn’t sleep well last night. I was fixing my computer until half past midnight. I went to bed at one o’clock in the morning. Then my son woke me up at twenty to four because he felt sick.

Adam: Not great. I didn’t sleep well last night. I was fixing my computer until half past midnight. I went to bed at one o’clock in the morning. Then my son woke me up at twenty to four because he felt sick.
Carol: Poor thing. Is he ok?
Adam: Oh yes. I talked to him for twenty minutes and then he went back to sleep. I didn’t. I lay awake in bed until about six. Then my alarm clock went off at a quarter to seven.
Carol: Oh dear.

Adam: So I turned it off and went to sleep again. Then, of course, I overslept! I woke up again at ten minutes to eight. I usually leave home at eight o’clock! I washed and dressed. I didn’t have breakfast. No time. And then I forgot my wallet!
Carol: Oh no!

Carol: Oh no!

Adam: Yes, I left it at home. Thankfully, I had some money in my pocket, so I could buy lunch. But I had to borrow some money from a colleague to buy petrol. There wasn’t enough in the car to get home.

Carol: At least you got home. Was work okay?
Adam: Yes, except that I was so tired. I had a meeting in the morning and I did paperwork in the afternoon. Nothing special.
Carol: Well, you can relax this evening. You can watch a nice film on TV.
Adam: Relax? I don’t think so! I have to cook dinner tonight because my wife is working late. Then I have to take my son to football practice, walk the dog, iron some clothes and clean the bathroom. I’ll be lucky if I’m in bed by half past eleven!
