| Zara: | Hi, I’m planning to go see the start of the hockey playoffs. The Jets will be playing the Minnesota Wild. I’m sure it will be a neck and neck series. |

| Zara: | Oh! It seems you’re not happy with your new job. I remember in the beginning you were quite excited to work there. |

| Zara: | So that’s the reason. But how long will you drag yourself around like this? |
| Ash: | I have taken a loan for my house and it has become a yoke around my neck. I can’t even think of quitting my job right now,at least until I find a better one. |
