First the train was late so when it came it was full and there were no seats left
awalan, t3atal l9itar, o mnin wsal kan 3amar o makanoch blays khawyin
Then when I apologised for being late for a meeting I realised I had left my papers at home
o mnin 3tadart 3la ta3tal dyali l2ijitma3, tfakart khlit wra9i fdar
Keep the cat out of the way!
ba3d lmacha mn Tri9
I see..
kanchof...
Then I realised I had got your glasses and not mine
mn ba3d 3raft bila khdit nDaDrk o machi nDaDri
Hope you weren't too annoyed by that
kantmana matkonch m9ala9 mn hadchi
Have you been able to participate in the meeting anyway?
wach 9darti tcharak b3da f ijtima3 3la kol 7al?
Oh, yeah, I saw about the glasses, but I didn't have to drive, so that didn't embarrass me too much
oh,ah rah chaft nDaDr, walakin makanch 3liya nsog dakchi 3lach ma7rajnich dakchi bzaf
I had to wing it at the meeting
kan khasni ndsar f ijtima3
Someone said I was better than usual but I think they were just poking fun at me.

You think they made fun of you?
wach kadan bila dahko 3lik?
It's not certain!

Maybe having to improvise without documents has made you more synthetic.
momkin kan khasak tartajal bla wra9 khlak aktar isTina3iya
And, as you know very well, you had to be perfect!
o 7ta nta kat3raf bila khasak tkon mitali
No, maybe I'm just paranoid
la, imkn ana 3andi jonon l3adama
But when we got in the lift my boss started to tell me this ghastly story about how he and someone else got lost in a forste.
walakin mnin rkabna lmas3ad, bda ra2is dyali kay3awad liya dik l9isa lkhayba kifach twadar howa o chi 7ad akhor flghaba
And then the lift broke down between floors.
mn ba3d khsar lmas3ad bin tawabi9
I was stuck in the lift with my boss!
rah w7alt flmas3ad m3a ra2is dyali
Synthetic!
isTina3i
Now your're making fun of me.
nta daba kadhak 3liya
No, I'm not
la
Well, I think you've had a really bad day, and you're mostly in a bad mood
wakha, kanDn bila dawzti nhar khayb, onta ghaliban f mazaj khayb
While the lift was stopped he said we should use the time doing my appraisal!

I'm always in a bad mood.
ana dima fmizaj khayb
Sorry, I haven't asked how your day was?
sma7 liya masawltkch kidaz nhark?
But, no, you're not always in a bad mood... but tonight, you definitely are!
walakin, la, machi dima fmizaj khayb... walakin lila, nta bta2kid
At the same time, after the day you've passed, that makes sense.
fnafs lwa9t, mora lyoum lidawzti, hadchi Tabi3i
I had a good day...
daz 3andi lyoum mazyan
That's probably why I see things more serene.

I would go for a lie down to calm down a bit, but I see the cat is on the stairs.
kant ghzdi ntaka bach nthadan chwiya walakin knchof lmacha f droj
Have you left any wine or have you finished the bottle?
wach khliti chwiya dyal nabid wla kmalti l9ar3a?
But leave that poor cat alone... take a glass of wine, there's more.
walakin khali dik lmacha maskina ...khod kas dyal nabid, rah kayn ba9i
Thanks I will have a big glass and try to forget about the day.

I was very scared, too, when I started getting on the plane ten years ago.
knt khayf bzaf ta ana mnin bdit kanrkab Tayara 9bal 3achra snawat
And I even trained to learn how to not be afraid of flying!
7ta tdarabt 3la kifach mankhafoch mn Tayaran
that's reassuring

Maybe I should order a drink from the drinks trolley to sooth my nerves.

It's a good idea to relax!

I got up a little early to get on the plane, and I need that coffee to wake me up a bit!

I'm a chocolatier.

Flying for the first time is a bit of a special occasion.
Tayaran l2awal mra rah monasaba khasa
Oh wow!
