hey real lifers so i just got to work
and i was about to start my tasks when i
realized i haven't signed in yet so to
sign in means to
insert a username and password in order
to gain access to a device such as your
computer or your phone
you could also use the word login
so sign in and log in have the same
meaning
now that i've organized my tasks i'm
going to start working on an urgent
project that my boss assigned to me
to work on something means to spend time
developing producing or improving it so
in my case i'm going to produce content
but before i can do that i need to sort
out a problem that i had with a client
and in this case to sort out means to do
what is necessary to successfully
resolve the problem
after i've completed that i'll draw up a
proposal which means to prepare a
detailed document
okay so i'll get started now and you can
join me later before i meet with my boss

my report because i was able to come up

employees next quarter which means that
