Audio track 3-3-17
Claudia and Roberto were talking about Roberto’s new job. Roberto was excited, but he was a bit nervous about learning a new software program. Claudia told him not to worry and promised to help him learn it. Then Roberto asked Claudia if she might get promoted soon because her boss had been transferred to a different office. Claudia said that getting promoted was not a big deal. She explained that her goal was to quit her job someday and relax. Roberto, however, said his life was planned already, almost right up to retirement. He thought it was important to have well-defined goals, but Claudia said to Roberto should keep his options open, and “go with the flow.” Roberto agreed, but only if the “flow” followed his plan!
