Nooooooooooo and what do you do? the role-play left me intrigued!!!

• Hectic /ˈhek.tɪk/ (adjective): full of activity, or very busy and fast.

Jhon: Hey, Mariana. We haven’t seen each other in a while. How’s work? (RISE)
Mariana: It’s alright, I guess…
Jhon: Is everything ok? (FALL RISE)
Mariana: Well, it’s been a really hectic week.
Jhon: Would you like to tell me more about it? (FALL RISE )
Mariana: I guess I’ve been having a hard time adjusting to my new position.
Jhon: Really? (FALL RISE)
Mariana: Yeah. To be honest, when I took this position, I assumed I’d be capable of handling the pressure.
Jhon: Do you feel unsuited for the role? (FALL RISE)
Mariana: No, not at all. I do have the qualifications. It’s just that the workload is so much greater than anticipated, you know? (FALL)
Jhon: I totally get you. I felt exactly like that in my previous job. I spent months thinking I wasn’t a good fit and that I was the problem.
Mariana: So what did you do? (RISE)

Phrases like “you know” and “I see”, I heard them a lot in conversations.

hectic: full of activity, or very busy and fast.
unsuited: not right for someone or something, usually in character, unfit, inappropiate.
than anticipated: than expected, than thought.
a good fit: very suitable, very apt.
