Did you get my email ?   I certainly did . Do you want to come in and give me some feedback about your weekend ?   Sure .   How did the business trip go ?   Well , to be honest , nothing is more stressful than going on a business trip with our boss .   I understand . The last time I went on a business trip with the boss , I didn't even have enough to eat !   I also think the company is pretty cheap with travel expenses . I spent half of the weekend on a train ! Surely they could have afforded to buy a few plane tickets !   Our company is quite conscious of the environmental problems that frequent flying causes .   I see . Well , then perhaps they could give me a few days off after a business trip . It was really tiring for me .   I can ask the boss about giving you the day off today .   Thank you . I can't imagine getting much done today . I'm just too exhausted !   No problem . Did you bring any gifts back for your department ?
