1.[Music] i got ripped off Hey Mia how was your weekend did you end up going to that new store downtown don't even get me started I got ripped off What happened well I saw this beautiful dress It was marked down to 50 bucks but when I got to the register they charged me 65 No way That's a big ripoff Did you say anything i tried but the cashier just shrugged and said there was a pricing error I felt so frustrated That's so unfair Did you at least get a discount or something nope I left feeling like I'd been robbed That's the worst I can't believe they didn't honor the price Right I'm never

Others realize it's not for them True I read an article that said a lot of dropouts go on to start their own businesses Yeah that's inspiring But at the same time I wonder if they ever regret it That's the tricky part Some might thrive but others could feel lost without that degree Exactly My cousin dropped out last year and now he's trying to figure things out It's a gamble for sure but I guess everyone's path is different right maybe we should redefine success Not all dropouts fail you know i mixed up the files Hey Sophia how's it going not too bad Just trying to get through this mountain of paperwork You same here You won't believe the mixup I had last week with those project files Oh no What happened i accidentally mixed up two different clients files I sent the wrong one to a client Yikes That sounds stressful How did they react they were upset at first but then calmed down after I apologized for the mixup I had a similar situation last month I mixed up the meeting times for two important clients I thought I had the 10:00 a.m meeting with Mrs Peterson and the noon one with Mr Taylor but I ended up switching them in my calendar Oh no So when I showed up for the 10:00 a.m meeting it was actually with Mr Taylor So how did that go i had to apologize as I didn't have the project files with me Thankfully he was understanding and agreed to reschedu for later this week
