Calling in sick
A: Hello, Ms. Murphy?

B: Yes? Who’s calling?

A: It’s John Anderson. I’m afraid I’m going to be out sick today. I’ve got a nasty cold. I hope you don’t mind, ma’am.

B: No, that’s no problem. I’m sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Get some rest. If you need to see a doctor, let me know.
