You're so right. And we let it happen without noticing, didn't we?
13

01:22
Yeah. We did. What we need to do is change some of our habits like doing email at bedtime...

and over breakfast. It's just not right to bring so much work home.

Is it? That should be an interesting addition to the office. I can't remember the last time I played a game of table tennis.
20

Me neither. But I'll enjoy playing. I bet we all will.

I was kind of against the idea at first, but the more I think about it, I believe it's a good thing.

Besides, work should be fun, right?

Note this important difference.
26

02:51
"Me too" and "me neither" both express agreement.
27

02:56
But "me too" follows an affirmative or positive statement.
28
176720

"Me neither follows a negative statement."
