Harry: So how are things going, mate?
Johnny: Good. Things are good. I’m really enjoying my job...lots of work, but I’ll be rich in threeyears!
Harry: You work all the time. I don’t know how you manage it. You should take a break sometime, come and play football with me!
Johnny: Too busy, mate, too busy. Venture capital –it’s so exciting right now. All theopportunities opening up in China. And I’m here to make the most of it! You should think aboutchanging your job, Harry – get a piece of the action!
Harry: You’re right...I’m always thinking about changing jobs...but I only know aboutcomputers, nothing else.
Johnny: There are lots of computer experts around. You need to specialise!
Harry: Perhaps you’re right, but I really like my job.
Johnny: Is the money good?
Harry: Not bad...
Johnny: But not good?
Harry: Well, I could find a job that pays more, but I would enjoy it less...
Johnny: You could come and work for our company!
Harry: Hmmm..is that an offer?
Johnny: Yes...I’m serious! Listen, I’ll have a word with the human resources people tomorrow. Iknow there are some vacancies at the moment in the IT team...you’d easily get it. Have to gonow, see you soon.
Harry: Yeah, cheers mate see you soon.
Olivia: Hi there! You on your own?
Harry: Yeah, Johnny’s just gone off to work...
Olivia: As always. Never stops, that boy.
Harry: Talking of which, what are you doing here. Shouldn’t you be in the shop?
Olivia: I’m just taking a break. I’m fed up of standing in that shop selling shoes all day, to tellyou the truth.
Harry: They’re very nice shoes, though.
Olivia: All hand made, of course. But, like I say, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life runningthat shop.
Harry: You could sell your shoes on the web.
Olivia: That’s right! I’ve thought about that already...
Harry: Have you got anybody to set up a website for you?
Olivia: No…but I did think...I was wondering...I don’t suppose....
Harry: What?
Olivia: ...that you’d be interested?
Harry: Me? Do your website for you?
Olivia: Well, yeah...I’d like someone I know...someone I can trust...
Harry: Well, I guess I could do it, sure...I’ll have to think...
Olivia: Hi Fadi! How are you doing? Do you know my friend Harry?
Fadi: No...nice to meet you!
Harry: Yeah...you too...cheers.
Olivia: Fadi works in the restaurant business, don’t you Fadi?
Fadi: Well, sort of, not exactly...we supply food to lots of restaurants, but...I tell you..it’s anightmare at the moment...
Olivia: Oh dear. What’s the problem?
Fadi: Well, there’s just too much work really...can’t keep up. It’s my dad’s business, but he’sgetting old now. My uncle works with us too, but he’s not really interested, so it’s all up tome...I can’t keep track of what’s coming in and going out...
Harry: Sounds like you need a better stock management system!
Fadi: Yeah! That’s exactly what I was thinking – how did you know that?
Harry: That’s my job, innit? I set up computerised stock management systems, all kinds ofbusiness IT solutions...
