What can be learned about the ice water?

W: Hello. This is Lucy’s Distribution. Can I help you?
M: Yes. I need some ice water delivered.
W: Are you completely out?
M: No, I have some, but not enough for the long weekend.
W: OK. I’ll send someone to deliver it for you this Thursday.

W: Well, now I’d like to find out more about your last job. I see you spent almost five years at the New York Times, is that right?
M: Yes, that’s right. To be honest, the first year was quite tough for me. I was really just treated more like an intern. I didn’t have many responsibilities and I found it quite frustrating.
W: So, what changed?
M: Well slowly but surely I proved myself, and the new editor liked me so he promoted me to features writer. I was responsible for restaurant and food reviews.
