Gina: Most people at work think my boss, Michaela, is an ____ woman who´s had an ____ career. We work for a public relations company. She always looks very busy and people ____ that ____, but I find ____ to be a bit ____, to tell you the ____. The other day, we were having a ____ meeting, she was reviewing me, and in the middle of the meeting her phone ____. She answered the call and just ignored me! When she finished the call, she then ____ a long time writing a text message on her phone ____ I was just sitting there, waiting. When ____ finished, she didn´t apologise or anything and just said "Ok, what were we talking about?". Maybe I´m being too ____, but she didn´t seem to care about our meeting-or me-and was ____ ____ interested in her phone call and message. I really think people should ____ their phones during meeting. I was ____ ____, to be honest. Derek- part 1: For years, I resisted ____ any kind of social media. Don´t ____, I´m no technophobe, I use IT all the time. I shop online, I read the news online, I do most of my banking online. But social media? It just seemed like a ____ of time. You know, people putting all this information about ____ online. I ____, I didn´t feel like I needed to see a lot of photos of people I´____ never ____ and probably never will meet having a good time. However, my ____ Emma really wanted me to join Facebook. She said I was the only one in the family not on it and it´s great way for us to ____. Derek- part 2: So, she ____ to my ____ and showed me how it works and how you can restrict the kind of contact you have. I ____ a small firm of accountants and she ____ that joining LinkedIn was a good ____ for me to network and get more clients. I could see her point. So, in the end I joined ____. And she was right. Social media is great for keeping in touch and finding out what´s happening. I´m ____ careful about the way I ____ it, so my Facebook friends are real friends-people I actually know in real life-and I don´t post much ____. But we´ve just got a really cute puppy and...well...I just had to share.
