#여성 김대리의 영어일기

We hava a fighter in our office. Everyone who joins the company has problems

with this person. Is it like a rite of passage or something? *통과의례

He is also known to talk about others behind their backs.

*badmouth / gossip about somebody

I didn't know that at first and told him something in confidence,

but soon it was general knowledge. *지식, 상식 - 소문이 퍼지다

On top of that, I don't understand why he has so many emotional ups and downs.

*감정기복 / 계속 오르락 내리락 하니까 s / emotional roller coaster

He makes me wonder why he's in such a state of mind.

But people say he becomes a nicer person once you get close to him,

so I guess there must be a way to get along well with him. *~와 어울리다

Relationship in the office should be different than developing friendship.

Co-workers grow closer by being considerate to each other at work, and I shouldn't

try to choose who's better for me. *점차적으로 ~이 되다 *배려하다

Isn't he childish in that sense?

I'll just look for a way to get to know other people better and get along

well without having any problems. *알아가고 있다 

*We're getting to know each other.
