When is the report due?

W: Where is the report I asked you to finish for today, Daug?
M: I’m really sorry, Ms. Jameson but it’ s not quite ready. I will have it by tomorrow.
W: That will be too late, Daug, it is needed at the board meeting this afternoon. You have been working on it for three weeks now. Why can’ t you have your work done on time?
M: I’ ve just had a lot of other things to do. And I still haven’ t caught up with the work I missed while I was on vacation.
W: Well, I am really tired of your excuses, Daug. Your work has been getting worse for the past several months. I have said a few things about it in the past, but nothing seems to help.
M: I am really sorry. I know I am not working up to my abilities. You will see a real improvement in my work from now on. Ms. Jameson. I can promise you that.
W: I certainly hope so. I know you are able to do much better than you have shown in the last few months.
