A Grouch

HOW TO USE

Speak as Stacey
Speak as Suzy
Stacey: I'm going to talk to our boss about taking a couple vacation days at the end of this month.

Suzy: I wouldn't do that right now.

Stacey: Why not?

Suzy: She is always a grouch in the morning. It is better to ask her for something in the afternoon. She is always in a much better mood then.

Stacey: That's good advice. But how do you know that?

Suzy: I know from experience. I've worked here for a long time, and I have noticed that she is much more generous and friendly after lunch. She is just not a morning person, I guess.

Stacey: Okay. I'll wait until after lunch to ask her.

Suzy: That would be better. Let me know how it goes.
