  1. A

    Salamat sa pag-stay mo nang late, Amara. Malaking tulong 'yon sa inventory.

    Thanks for staying late, Amara. That was a big help with the inventory.

  2. B

    Wala po 'yon, Sir. Anim na buwan na po pala ako rito sa Biyernes.

    It was nothing, Sir. It'll be six months for me here on Friday, by the way.

  3. A

    Ganoon na pala katagal? Ang bilis, ano?

    Has it been that long already? Time flies, huh?

  4. B

    Opo. Naisip ko lang po, baka may bakante pang regular na posisyon.

    Yes. I was just thinking, maybe there's still an opening for a regular position.

  5. A

    Alam mo naman ang head office, ang dami nilang iniisip ngayon. May hiring freeze pa raw hanggang Disyembre.

    You know how head office is, they've got a lot on their minds right now. And I hear there's a hiring freeze until December.

  6. B

    Sige po, Sir. Tatapusin ko na lang po nang maayos ang huling linggo ko.

    All right, Sir. I'll just finish my last week properly, then.

  7. A

    Kung kailangan mo ng recommendation, ako mismo ang pipirma.

    If you need a recommendation, I'll sign it myself.
