No More Bad Blood

Dialogue A

Katie and Stan are eating lunch in the office together.

Katie: Hey, Stan. Have you met the new blood yet?

Stan: You mean Bill, right? I had to work with him all morning.
He just couldn''t seem to get anything right. It was absolutely terrible.

Katie: It sounds like he''s really making your blood boil.

Stan: But what can I do, especially when he is the boss'' own flesh and blood?
I might lose my job if I started yelling at him.

Katie: That''s true. You''d better keep your temper.


Dialogue B

Katie and Stan are eating together again later that week.

Katie: Are things getting better now that Bill has been here for a couple of days?

Stan: He''s improved a lot and we''ve actually become great friends. Now it''s like we''re blood
brothers.

Katie: That''s great to hear. Any bad blood between co-workers can really cause problems.

Stan: You''re right. That''s why I decided to learn to be patient. After all, I''ve been doing this job
for 10 years and Bill has just started.

Katie: I''m glad you decided to give him a chance.
