IN: This Friday is our company 's foundation anniversary . Aside from the thanksgiving mass , award ceremonies and evening cocktails for our valued clients , one of the things I really look forward to is the anniversary bonus given to us officers . Indeed , you can do a lot with that money .
How does the narrator feel about this event ?

OUT: They are patiently anticipating it .

IN: This part of the experience was overwhelming positive for me . Coming home from Afghanistan I struggled with the glaring contrast between the comfort , ease and luxury of life here in New Zealand and the poverty , insecurity and struggle of life in Ghor . I often looked around me and wondered if people had any idea how lucky they were . I wondered if they even cared that their life of comfort was possible only because of a globally imbalanced economic system which favours the rich at the expense of the poor .
Why were they in Afghanistan ?

OUT: They were deployed there for the military .

IN: So , at the beginning of this week , week 4 , I am as motivated as I was when I first started . I got my second wind . I am sure I 'll get a few more before this is over , but as of now I am on a high . I even got up at 5:45 this morning to make sure I exercised before I hit up jury duty .
Why may this person be motivated by working out ?

OUT:
The early morning workout gives them juice to start the day .
