Female factory worker: There's a printed date on the little single packet and they have to be right.
Legally, you can't sell something that is out of date.
Bus driver: If you work on a late, you can't do an early the next day for obvious reason, 'cause you won't get enough sleep.
'Cause if you go over your hours, anything can happen, you know at the wheel.
You can mmm, nod off.
Therapist: Length of time is very important in what I do because you pay for something by the hour, so you need to do it for the full hour or you're really not giving them value for money.
Receptionist: Right, we'll see you then, thank you.
So the client wanted the last appointment available for her, so I knew that I needed to count up the column to make sure I booked it correctly for her to be the last person.
So I did one, two, three, which made 45, and then she needed an hour for her colour, so I counted one, two, three, four.
She's also having a facial, which is 45 minutes, so I counted another one, two, three.
Especially with the facials, it's nicer for them to have the facial before having their hair done, so it's just making sure that you can figure out there's enough time to have both services done.
Time and date help us keep track of the days, months and years. They are used to remind us of important events.
