IV. Speaking Out
MODEL 1   We’re going to miss you.
Susan: Excuse me, Helen, do you have a minute to talk?
Helen: That question always carries some weight, Sue. What’s up?
Susan: Well, uh…Here goes…My university wants me to go back to update the university website.
Helen: So what? You can go back on the weekend, or in the evening.
Susan: But it’s a large project. So I’m afraid I have to terminate my work here before my internship¹ is over. I have to go back next Thursday.
Helen: Oh? This is quite a surprise, Sue. I’m sad that you’ll be leaving us. You run this place with clockwork efficiency, you know. We’re going to miss you.
Susan: I hope this one-week notice will give you time to hire and train a replacement².
Helen: Thanks for the notices, Sue. Assistants like you are one in a million. I guess we’d better start looking as soon as possible.
Susan: With your approval, I’ll put out notice today and screen the application myself.
Helen: That would be great. Schedule them in as you see fit. Oh, Sue, things certainly won’t be the same without you around here.
Susan: Thank you for your kind words. If you have any problem, please feel free to call me.
