Let's be honest, English is hard.
Grammar, sounds, phrasal verbs, total chaos.
chaos.
>> But here's the good news. You don't need
a textbook. You need a screen to enjoy
our everyday conversation.
>> That's how you learn sentence
structures, useful words, and how real
people respond day by day.
>> So, stop overthinking. Start watching.
>> One click, real progress.
>> Come on.
Here we go again. Another long, boring day.
Why does time only move fast when I'm
sleeping? Lucy, you awake? Physically,
yes. Mentally, no.
Oh, Lucy, you look tired. Thank you,
Donna. Just the confidence boost I
needed. You young people work too much.
You should marry rich. That's what I
did. Wow. Okay, adding that to my to-do list.
So crazy idea. What if we all just like
didn't work today?
>> Oh, rebellion. I like it. You first.
We'll follow your lead.
>> No, no. We all have to do it together.
It's about unity.
Strength in numbers.
>> Sure. Let's start by all quitting at the
same time.
>> You go first.
>> Hey team, quick meeting in 10.
If this is another we're a family
speech, I might lose it.
>> All right, team. I'll get straight to
it. The company is shutting down.
>> Like shutting down for the weekend.
>> No, for good. Effective in 2 weeks. Huh?
Huh?
>> Wait, what?
>> I know this is sudden, but the higherups
made the decision last night. We're
officially closing.
So, we're all fired.
>> I prefer the term being given new opportunities.
opportunities.
>> So, we should what? Just start packing
up our stuff.
>> Look, I wish I had better news. You're
all get severance pay and I'll help with references,
references,
Luckily, I already have a backup job
offer in Chicago.
Oh, nice. When were you going to tell
us? Uh, when I actually accepted it,
which is now, I guess.
>> Well, you know what? This might be a sign.
sign.
>> What do you mean?
>> My uncle's got a business in Florida.
He's been bugging me to join. Guess I'm
finally doing it.
Wow, you guys have backup plans.
Yeah. So, you don't have anything lined
up? Nope. No job offers, no family
business, no rich husband.
>> Well, I mean, you're smart. You'll
figure something out.
>> Yeah, who knows? Maybe this is the push
you need. Or maybe it's the push into
financial ruin. But thanks for the optimism.
Hey, how was work? Gone. Work is gone. Seriously?
Seriously?
Yes, Emma. I'm serious. The company's
shutting down. We have two weeks.
Oh, dang.
Yeah. Dang. Big time. So, what's the
plan? Plan? Oh, I don't know, Emma.
Maybe I should sell my organs.
You are spiraling.
No, I'm trying to figure things out.
Emma, seriously, what do you actually
want to do? Panic? Yeah. No, I mean for
a job. Oh, um I don't know. I just I
wasn't supposed to be here, you know.
Okay, so worst case scenario, I would
sell my kidney and live in a box.
No. Worst realistic case, I would have
to get another boring office job and
keep existing.
And best case, I would wake up and
realize this is all a bad dream. Lucy,
I don't know. Maybe this is my chance to
do something different. But I don't even
know where to start. Well, step one, breathe.
breathe.
What's next? Step two, apply for some jobs.
jobs.
You don't have to figure out your entire
life this week. Job hunting is the
worst. So is being broke. Touche. Look,
you're smart and funny. Thank you. And
kind of a disaster, but in an endearing
way. You'll find something. Do you think
I'll find something or you hope?
Hello, this is Lucy speaking.
>> Hi Lucy, this is Tom from Harvey Solutions.
Solutions.
>> Oh, thank you for calling me.
>> Well, we received your application. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> And while we appreciate your interest,
we've decided to move forward with other candidates.
candidates.
>> Oh, okay. Uh, thanks for letting me know.
know.
>> So, tell me about a time you
demonstrated leadership.
>> Well, um, there was this time my team
had a tight deadline. We're actually
looking for more senior leadership experience.
experience.
Oh, well, I also do you have a project
management professional certification?
Do you consider yourself a grinder?
I mean, I work hard if that's what you
We're all about hustle culture. I'm all
about paying rent. We're offering
equity. Do you mean actual money or just
So, how'd it go? I am unemployable.
That bad? Worse? What do you mean? It's
like every company wants either a robot,
a cult member, or someone willing to
work for exposure.
So, unpaid labor.
Exactly. And one place just straight up
ghosted me after a five round interview process.
process.
Yeah, that's the corporate world.
It's like dating, but somehow worse. I
just need a job. Any job. Or maybe this
is the universe telling you to do
something else.
Oh, great. You've gone full horoscope,
girl. What am I supposed to do then?
Become a psychic. Read people's auras.
I'm serious. You've always been good at
writing and design. Why not freelance? Freelance?
Freelance?
That's just a fancy way of saying
unemployed but pretending to be in control.
control.
My cousin freelances. He makes good money.
money.
Your cousin also lives in his mom's
basement. Rentree. Who's the real winner
Descriptions for 50 dog toys. Fun,
engaging, nothing boring. Well, I guess
that's not too hard.
Hey, may I sit here? Sure, go ahead.
First time here. Yeah, I got tired of
working from my couch. Same. If I stayed
home, I'd need a nap, a binge watch the
crime documentaries.
See, I was so productive for like 20
minutes. Then I deep dived into some
threads on Reddit. Well, I call that
classic freelance of behavior. How long
have you been doing this? A year. Best
decision I ever made. No regrets. No
stress about finding clients. Oh, tons
of stress.
But also, no boss breathing down my
neck. That does sound nice. Trust me,
once you get a taste of the freedom,
How's the unemployed life? Freelance
life, thank you. And surprisingly, not
terrible. Wow. Is this Lucy, my
corporate girl roommate?
I know, I know. But like, I like this. I
wake up when I want, work on projects I
actually enjoy, and nobody asks me dumb
questions like, "Where do you see
yourself in 5 years?"
So, are you happier?
Yeah. Yeah, I think I am. So, maybe this
whole job lost thing wasn't the end of
your life. Maybe it was just a plot
twist. You're right. Hey, watch out.
What the? No way. No way. Okay. Date,
time, everything's normal. That was a
dream. I lost my job. I was freaking
out. And then I was freelancing.
And then I was fine. Okay. That was
You're up early. I always get up early.
No, you don't. Okay, fair. You good? You
look weirdly happy for a Monday. Just
feeling good. I guess you just feel good
at this hour. What happened? I just had
Morning, dear. You're practically
Not quite. Just had one of those dreams
that makes you rethink stuff. Oh, the
lifechanging kind. Had one back in 87.
You did?
Yep. Woke up and decided to divorce my
first husband.
Best decision I ever made. Wow. Okay.
Mine was less dramatic.
Well, if it makes you smile at this
hour, it must have been good. I think it was.
>> Morning. You're in a good mood. Did I
miss free donuts in the break room?
>> Nope. Just appreciating things a little
more today. Ew, gross. Why? Just had one
of those dreams that makes you rethink stuff.
