John just got fired. Even though his job is a piece of cake, he just can’t seem to cut the mustard and keeps fudging his work. The boss was so mad when he caught him just noodling around and chewing the fat on the job again, I thought he was going to give him a knuckle sandwich. After all, he is the big cheese around here and a real tough cookie. I just don’t know how John is going to be able to make that kind of dough and bring home the bacon now and you know his wife has a bun in the oven! You just don’t act like that in front of the boss. He’d better wake up and smell the coffee or he’s really going to eat it. Sometimes I just don’t think he’s cooking on all four burners. Well, there it is… the whole enchilada.

好，期待继续

I dunno why we’ve put up with him for this long. I’m telling you, if I run into him tomorrow, I’m reading him the riot act. This time, he blew it big time. Man, I’m gonna have a field day with him. Chris: Try not to lose your cool too much. One thing’s for sure. It’ll be a cold day in hell before we invite him to the movies again. By the way, do you even know what this movie’s about?
