A: "Why the long face?"

B: "I'm getting sick of work man. I can't take the political bull1 in the company any more."

A: "That sucks."

B: "I'm just pissed that management can't see behind his smooth talking lies."

A: "Look on the bright side. At least you have a job."

B: "Yeah. I shouldn't stress about this anymore. It's not like I can do anything about it."

A: "Exactly. Instead, we should have some drinks tonight."

B: "How about a cold bottle of beer."

A: "Now you're talking."
