Exchange, ugh
Magda: Guess what happened to me yesterday? I’m organising an exchange with a German school for summer. And I was really looking forward to it. I’d found accommodation, and I was bombarding them with enthusiastic emails. But there were no replies, until yesterday.
Suong: So there you go, they finally got in touch.
Magda: Sure, they got in touch. They wanted to know when I would deliver the Czech design of the leaflet, that apparently advertising is fundamental and my responsibility. Wouldn’t you be pissed off? You work as hard as you can, and they don’t even thank you for what you’ve done, just give you shit for not having come up with the leaflet.
Suong: Well, was that part of your job?
Magda: I guess so, but I had so much to do. I did loads of extra stuff on top. The whole exchange can’t hinge on a leaflet can it?
Song: Maybe they think you’re not that bothered if you didn’t do a leaflet. ….
Magda: But they could at least thank me, don’t you think?
