E-24. Working Late at the Office

ESL Podcast 35, Script by Dr. Lucy Tse

I was so glad it was Friday afternoon. I've been thinking - TGIF - all day. I was on my way out of the office when I saw Nick sitting at his desk. Even though the office was nearly empty, he didn't look like he was ready to leave. In fact, he looked like he was still swamped with work.	work late - pracować do późna TGIF (thank God it's Friday) - dzięki Bogu już piątek! I was on my way out of the office - właśnie wychodziłam z biura even though - mimo że; chociaż nearly - niemal, prawie swamped with work - zawalony pracą
Linda: Hi, Nick. You're here late.
Nick: Yeah, it looks like this may be an all-nighter. I just got a project dumped in my lap.	it looks like - wygląda na to, że all-nighter - całonocne siedzenie (przy pracy, nauce) a project dumped in my lap - spadła na mnie robota związana z projektem, projekt zwalił mi się na głowę (lap - kolana)
Linda: You're kidding! On Friday afternoon? What happened?	you're kidding! - żartujesz!
Nick: Well, the person who was put in charge of this project went on maternity leave this week and the person who was supposed to take it over just resigned.	the person who was put in charge of this project - osoba wyznaczona do zajęcia się tym projektem maternity leave - urlop macierzyński the person who was supposed to take it over - osoba, która miała go przejąć resign - zrezygnować
Linda: I can't believe that. When is the deadline? I hope you're getting some extra help.	deadline - ostateczny termin (zakończenia/oddania pracy)
Nick: The project is due first thing Monday morning. And, with the lay-offs recently, I think I'm on my own on this one.	the project is due first thing Monday morning - projekt ma być gotowy z samego rana w poniedziałek lay-offs - zwolnienia z pracy, redukcja zatrudnienia I'm on my own - jestem zdany wyłącznie na siebie
Linda: Why don't you bring me up to speed? Maybe I can help.	bring me up to speed - powiedz mi, o co chodzi
Nick: No, it's Friday. You look like you're about to head home. I can't ask you to do that.	be about to - mieć właśnie zamiar head home - udawać się do domu
Linda: I don't have any big plans for tonight. So, I'll tell you what. I'm having some trouble finishing the budget on my proposal and I know you're a whiz at numbers. Why don't I stay and help you with your project for the next few hours and you can give me a hand with my budget next week.	budget - budżet proposal - propozycja whiz - ekspert give somebody a hand - pomóc komuś
Nick: That's really nice of you. It would be a big relief. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed and I know you've done a project like this before. Okay, you've got a deal!	relief - ulga overwhelmed - przytłoczony you've got a deal! - umowa stoi!
Linda: Good! Now, let's see what we've got.
