   => We had a compay shindig last night.

A: My head feels like a football. (지난밤에 회식이 있었어) and I went a bit too far.
B: Been there, done that. It’s funny how we always swear to never do that again.
A: Yeah, and when the next one rolls round, … OOPS! There we go!
B: It’s almost like there’s no way around it. It’s an expected ritual.

A:머리가 띵해요. We had a company shindig last night 과하게 마셨나바.
B:나도 그랬었던 적이 있어요. 우습게도 다신 안 그러겠다고 항상 다짐하지만 말이에요.

B:거의 방법이 없는 것 같아요. 뻔한 결과만 있을 뿐이에요.
