Hey, I’ve got some news, some good news and some bad news.
OK, give me the bad news first.
We're moving to a new office.
When is this going to happen?
We are supposed to move at the end of next month.
How far away is the new office?
We are not sure yet, but it will mean a longer commute for most of us.
The new office will probably be on the other side of the city.
The commute is already too long for me and I’m not going to change flats.
We just bought one.
Anyway, what’s the good news?
The good news is that we are going to expand.
The company is growing so we are gonna hire more people.
Well, I’ve got some news for you too.
I hope it’s a good news.
Well, that depends on your point of view.
I’m planning to start my own business.
Why? I thought you were happy working here.
I like the work, but I’m not learning anything new.
I think I can do better on my own.
I was planning to wait a few months.
But now that the office is moving, I’m ready to make the change.
What does your wife think?
She’s in favor of it and she'll help me.
She’s already designing a website.
We’ll work from home at first.
So you really are serious about this?
You’re taking a big risk.
Most new businesses fail.
Yes, I know, but if I don’t do it now, I never will.
I’m tired of working for others.
I know what you mean.
Don’t tell anyone about this, OK?
It’s still a secret.
Sure, I won’t say anything to anybody.
I’m sure this will come as a surprise to everyone.
I’m sure changing offices will also come as a surprise to people.
This is exactly why I want to work on my own.
I don’t like these kinds of surprises.
You are right about that.
When are you gonna let people know?
I’ll make the announcement at the beginning of next month.
