- But, Rache, wasn’t it supposed to be a temporary thing? I thought you
wanted to do fashion stuff.
- Oh, yeah. I’m still pursuing (преследуешь) that.
- How exactly are you pursuing it? You know, other than sending out
resumes, like, what, two years ago?
- Oh, well, I’m also sending out good thoughts.
- If you ask me, as long as you got this job you got nothing pushing you to
get another one. You need the fear (страх).
- The fear?
- He’s right! If you quit this job you then have motivation to go after a job
you really want.
- Well, then how come you’re still at a job that you hate and why don’t you
quit and get fear?
- Because I’m too afraid.
- I don’t know. I mean, I would give anything to work for a designer, you
know, or a buyer. Uh, I just don’t want to be 30 and still work here.
- Yeah, that’d be much worse than being 28 and still working here.
- Rachel?
- Yeah!
- Remind me to review with you which pot is decaf and which is regular.
- Can’t I just look at the handles (ручки) on them?
- You would think.
- Okay, fine. Gunther, you know what, I am a terrible (ужасная) waitress.
Do you know why I am a terrible waitress? Because I don’t care. I don’t
care. I don’t care which pot is regular and which pot is decaf. I don’t care
where the trays spot is. I just don’t care. This is not what I want to do. So,
I don’t think I should do it anymore. Well, I give you my weeks notice.
- What?
- Gunther, I quit.
- This mean we’re gonna have to start paying for coffee?
