Scheduling Conflict
會議撞期喬一喬
S: Shane D: Darina
D: Lyra was singing with her headphones on during break. Megan got annoyed, so she said her singing voice was terrible. Now they aren’t on speaking terms.
S: Wow. And we nearly suffered the consequences of their petty fight. It’s best to keep good relations with others in the workplace.
D: Yeah, I agree. While it is important to be honest with others, we need to be mindful how we express ourselves, too.
S: That’s very true. I guess we will have to inform both receptionists about future reservations for the time being. It’s almost 2:30. Our clients will be here soon.
達琳娜： 萊拉在休息時間戴著耳機唱歌。梅根被惹惱了，所以她說萊拉的歌聲很糟。她們現在處於不講話狀態。
夏 恩： 哇。然後我們幾乎要為她們小心眼的吵架付出代價。最好還是在工作環境與他人保持良好關係。
達琳娜： 對，我同意。儘管對彼此誠實很重要，但我們還是要注意表達的方式。
夏 恩： 完全沒錯。我猜我們目前必須為了未來的預約，一次通知兩位接待員。快兩點半了。我們的客戶快來了。
生活必備字詞：
suffer the consequences 承擔後果，付出代價
inform vt. 通知
Minnie informed me that there was a sudden change in the schedule.
