Conversation 68 (Listen and Read)

Are you staying around for the retirement party on Thursday?

It is Jill Johnson's last day.

Yes, I plan on going.

I got the email invitation last week,

but I guess a lot of people didn't get them due to a technical error.

The HR manager is planning to let everyone know by the end of the day.

I heard it will take place on the building roof.

Are you planning on going?

I already have a dinner scheduled with a client up in Boston,

so I'm leaving in the afternoon.

I'm really disappointed because I've worked with Jill for years,

so I would like to see her off, but I won't be back until Monday.

That is a bummer.

I will be going, so I will tell Jill about your situation if you want me to.
