"You're always moaning about work. That's very frustrating for me. However much you envy all the time I lay around on the beach, the sand quickly loses its appeal when it's your day. I don't even really enjoy the beach when you're there any more. I always want to go and do something different, while you just wish to chill out by the sea. I would love it if you'd just go shopping with me occasionally."
"Sometimes I feel my whole life is in that store, continually putting back the clothes customers have tried and dumped."
"I know, that is why I go along with you. You are the one earning. Nowadays, with computers and automation, there just aren't enough jobs to go around, and yet those with work are expected to put in ever longer hours to justify their earnings... Do you think we could job-share? Would the store agree to that? Then we'd both get a bit of the pain and enough sunshine. I'd get my self-respect back and you won't feel such a slave."
"Brilliant idea, especially if we could get some time off together. There's no harm in asking. Perhaps that's a future for most people."
