Corporate really doesn't interfere with me at all.

Jan, hello.

ʤæn, hɛˈloʊ.

I call her Hillary Rodham Clinton. Right? Not to her face because... Well not because I'm scared of her. Cos I'm not. But, um... Yeah.

Was there anything you wanted to add to the agenda?

What? I'm sorry?

I didn't get any agenda.

I faxed one to you this morning.

Really? I didn't… Did we get a fax this morning?

ˈrɪli? aɪ didn't…… dɪd wi gɪt ə fæks ðɪs ˈmɔrnɪŋ?

Uh, yeah, the one

Why isn't it in my hand? A company runs on efficiency of communication, right? So what's the problem, Pam? Why didn't I get it?

You put it in the garbage can that was the special filing cabinet.

Any messages?

ˈɛni ˈmɛsɪʤɪz?

Umm, yeah. Just a fax.

əm, jæ. ʤɪst ə fæks.

Oh! Pam, this is from Corporate. How many times have I told you? There's a special filing cabinet.

You haven't told me.

It's called the wastepaper basket!

ɪts kɔld ðə ˈweɪstˌpeɪpər ˈbæskət!

Yeah, that was a joke. That was a joke that was actually my brother's that was supposed to be with bills. It doesn't work great with faxes.

Do you want to look at mine?

Yeah. Lovely. Thank you.

OK. Since the last meeting, Alan and the board have decided we can't justify a Scranton branch and a Stamford branch.

ˈoʊˈkeɪ. sɪns ðə læst ˈmitɪŋ, ˈælən ənd ðə bɔrd hæv ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd wi kænt ˈʤəstəˌfaɪ ə ˈskræntən brænʧ ənd ə ˈstæmfərd brænʧ.

OK.

ˈoʊˈkeɪ.

Now, Michael, don't panic.

naʊ, ˈmaɪkəl, doʊnt ˈpænɪk.

No, this is good. This is good. This is fine. Excellent!

noʊ, ðɪs ɪz gʊd. ðɪs ɪz gʊd. ðɪs ɪz faɪn. ˈɛksələnt!

Michael, listen. Don't panic.

ˈmaɪkəl, ˈlɪsən. doʊnt ˈpænɪk.

Although alarm bells are kind of going ringy-dingy-dingy!

ˌɔlˈðoʊ əˈlɑrm bɛlz ər kaɪnd əv goʊɪŋ ringy-dingy-dingy!

We haven't made any decisions yet. I've spoken to Josh in Stamford. I’ve told him the same as you. And it's up to either you or him to convince me that your branch can incorporate the other.

Ok. No problem

ˈoʊˈkeɪ. noʊ ˈprɑbləm

This does mean however that there is going to be downsizing.

ðɪs dɪz min ˌhaʊˈɛvər ðət ðɛr ɪz goʊɪŋ tɪ bi ˈdaʊnˌsaɪzɪŋ.

Me no wanna hear that, Jan.

mi noʊ ˈwɑnə hir ðət, ʤæn.

So do you think we could keep a lid on this for now? I don't want to worry people unnecessarily.

soʊ du ju θɪŋk wi kʊd kip ə lɪd ɔn ðɪs fər naʊ? aɪ doʊnt wɔnt tɪ ˈwəri ˈpipəl ənˈnɛsəˌsɛrəli.

No. Absolutely. Under this regime, it will not leave this office.

noʊ. ˌæbsəˈlutli. ˈəndər ðɪs rəˈʒim, ɪt wɪl nɑt liv ðɪs ˈɔfəs.

So what does downsizing actually mean?

Well you guys have got to update your résumés, just like I'm doing.

wɛl ju gaɪz hæv gɑt tɪ ˈəpˌdeɪt jʊr résumés, ʤɪst laɪk əm duɪŋ.

I bet it's going to be me. It’s probably going to be me.

Yeah, it'll be you.

I have an important question for you.

Yes

Are you going to Angela's cat party on Sunday?

ər ju goʊɪŋ tɪ ˈænʤələz kæt ˈpɑrti ɔn ˈsənˌdi?

Yes. Stop. That is ridiculous.

jɛs. stɑp. ðət ɪz rɪˈdɪkjələs.

Am I going to tell them? No. I’m not going to tell them. I don't see the point of that. As a doctor, you would not tell a patient if they had cancer.

æm aɪ goʊɪŋ tɪ tɛl ðɛm? noʊ. i’m nɑt goʊɪŋ tɪ tɛl ðɛm. aɪ doʊnt si ðə pɔɪnt əv ðət. ɛz ə ˈdɔktər, ju wʊd nɑt tɛl ə ˈpeɪʃənt ɪf ðeɪ hæd ˈkænsər.

I don't think it would be the worst thing if they let me go because then I might.. I don't think it's many little girls' dream to be a receptionist.

I like to do illustrations. Mostly watercolor. A few oil pencil. Jim thinks they're good.
