\nCarmen: Pues no, la verdad. Estoy harta de mis compa\u00f1eros de trabajo.
\nPhil: \u00bfY eso? \u00bfQu\u00e9 les pasa?
\nCarmen: Son todos insoportables. Raquel es una pelota. Se pasa el d\u00eda dici\u00e9ndole al jefe lo fant\u00e1stico que es.
\nPhil: Bueno, siempre hay un pelota en todas las oficinas.
\nCarmen: S\u00ed, es verdad. Pero no es solo ella. Julio es un fanfarr\u00f3n. Estoy harta de escuchar sus historias sobre sus vacaciones en el Caribe, su coche deportivo nuevo, su casa en la zona m\u00e1s pija de la ciudad\u2026 No lo aguanto.
\nPhil: Ya, comprendo.
\nCarmen: Luego est\u00e1 Roberto. Es un calzonazos.
\nPhil: \u00bfUn calzo qu\u00e9?
\nCarmen: Un calzonazos. No puede ir a tomar unas ca\u00f1as despu\u00e9s del trabajo porque a su mujer no le gusta. No se pone pantalones vaqueros porque a su mujer le parecen poco elegantes. Vamos, que hace todo lo que le dice su mujer.
\nPhil: Bueno, a lo mejor es feliz as\u00ed.
\nCarmen: No hombre no. Es un cascarrabias. Todo le molesta. Y estoy segura de que si se enfrentara a su mujer ser\u00eda mucho m\u00e1s feliz. Es un desgraciado, la verdad.
\nPhil: Chica, no s\u00e9. Por lo menos tu jefe es majo, \u00bfno?
\nCarmen: \u00bfMajo? \u00bfMi jefe? \u00a1Qu\u00e9 dices! \u00a1Es el t\u00edo m\u00e1s pijo y cre\u00eddo que he conocido nunca! Adem\u00e1s es un r\u00e1cano. Trabajamos s\u00faper duro y nunca nos invita a tomar algo. Encima es un vago. Nos pide que hagamos su trabajo, haci\u00e9ndonos creer que es nuestra responsabilidad. No puedo m\u00e1s Phil.
\nPhil: Carmen, quiz\u00e1 debas cambiar de trabajo.
\nCarmen: Quiz\u00e1 s\u00ed.<\/p>\n
