W: I have really amazing news. I just got a text message from my bank, saying my salary has been deposited in my account.
M: Getting paid is good. But I don’t understand why you’re so excited. It happens every month.
W: Well, I’ve been working for a few years. In fact, I worked all through university, but I only had part-time jobs then. So this is the first time I’ve ever been paid for a month of full-time work.
M: Wow, then you must feel great. I mean, it’s been two decades, but I can still remember when I got my first real salary. I was happy for days. I felt like it was a small fortune, even though it wasn’t.
W: Yeah, I’ve never earned so much money before. And there’re so many things I’d like to do with it. What did you do with your first pay?
M: I bought a new suit for work and took my parents to a nice restaurant to celebrate. Maybe you could do the same.
W: I have enough professional clothes. And my parents are across the country. So seeing them is impossible. But some people from the office are members of a gym I want to join. And my university classmates are arranging a trip to visit our old campus, and I’d love to go with them. But I can’t afford both.
M: If I were you, I’d join the gym, because it’s a good way to stay healthy, and it might help you build a stronger relationship with your colleagues. And good relationships are key to a successful career.
W: Hmm. You’re right. Thanks for the advice. I’m taking it.
