我們知道，人既然是社會動物，就需要和其他人打交道。處理好辦公室里的人際關系是一件很有挑戰的事情。

在公司里，你也許是個秘書，你也許是管理財務的人員，你也許負責管理檔案，你也許負責管理人力資源……，總之幾乎你得天天待在辦公室里，坐在辦公桌旁處理堆積如山的文件。每天你有許許多多的雜事要處理，每天你有快樂，但更多的是不順心，因為你是人，你需要與周圍的同事和平共處，你需要克制忍耐；可又因為你是有血有肉的活生生的人，你要發泄（否則你會得心臟病），你要抱怨（因為憋在肚子里你會感到對不起自己）。下面是一些例句，你或許會從中學會怎樣用英語發牢騷，也是一舉兩得吧！

1. Yech...it's a beautiful day out. And here I am stuck inside the office with all this paper work.
哎，外面天氣那么好，我卻得守在辦公室處理這些文件。

2. How am I to know what I'm supposed to do if there's no organization around here?
如果這里那么沒有條理，我怎么曉得該做些什么好呢？

6. Turn the other way when you smoke, so I won't have to breathe it in, all right?

7. Don't talk to me while I'm in the middle of calculating.

9. Oh, why did he have to give me this rush job now that it's almost time for my lunch break!
