It’s my first week at the new company. I haven’t gotten my feet under the table. I need time to get my feet under the table. I was so overwhelmed at first but now I can get my feet under the table.
Julie always goes the extra mile to make her mom happy. To win the contract, he went the extra mile to prepare the documents before the meeting. He went the extra mile just to make her feel special at the wedding.
We’re done. Let’s put our feet up. After a hard day at work, I like to put my feet up and read some books. Don’t work too hard. Go home and put your feet up.
All students want to be in the teacher’s good book. I used to be in my teacher’s bad book because I wasn’t very well-behaved back then. If she was pretty and sexy, she would be in Harry’s good book.
His work has been getting worse and worse. It’s time to give him the sack. Giving someone the sack is such a hard decision for me. I always have a rational discussion with them beforehand. Why don’t you give her the sack? She’s a terrible employee, always late for work and jealous of her co-workers.
'We worked so hard today. Let’s call it a day before 6 p.m.' She’s such a workaholic. She can’t call it a day when there is still work that needs to be done. ‘What time do you usually call it a day?’ ‘At 5 p.m.’
To earn money, he works like a dog every day. That’s unfair. Why do I have to work like a dog while he can watch TV? After graduating, I worked like a dog just to get promoted.
'Are you tired?' 'No, it’s all in a day’s work.' Fixing machines seem hard for women but for her, it’s all in a day’s work. She can cook for 40 people in just 2 hours. For her, cooking is all in a day’s work.
I’ve worked my fingers to the bone but my boss is still not happy. He worked his fingers to the bone to build his own house. Women have to work their fingers to the bone outside the house, then do all the housework when they come back home.
