So, how's Frank doing? |

Oh, He quit work |
| Anne: |
He did? What happened?

A lot of people got
laid off in his company. He had a feeling the company would
lay off* more people soon, so he decided it might be a good time to
look for another job. |

He should have waited until his company laid
him off. Otherwise he cannot collect any unemployment insurance
pay.
|

Yeah. I guess he didn't want to wait for
it. |
| Anne: |
Has he found anything yet? |

Actually, he has. He's giving kayaking lessons
to kids at Greenlake over the summer. It's a fun change for him. |

I'll say! |

|

解雇されるまで待てば良かったのに。でないと失業保険がもらえないのに。 |
| Justin: |
うん。でも彼は待ちたくなかったんだと。 |
| Anne: |
もう別の仕事を見つけたの？ |
| Justin: |
それがもう見つけたんだよ。夏の間グリーンレイクで子供達にカヤックのレッスンをしてる。おもしろい展開だよね。
|
| Anne: |
ほんとね！ |
