[usr] I found out that I will need to travel abroad at my work, and it really took me off guard. [sys] Wow, that would be shocking if you weren't expecting it.  Did they tell you when you were hired that there was a possibility?  Where might you be going? [usr] No, they didn't tell me, but I did suspect it might be in the cards. I'll be going to South Korea for a while. [qst] ask me for further details [bhv] I'm in a negative mood, please comfort me.
That will be very different.  How do you feel about it?  I wish you lots of luck and adventure while you're there!
I just found out that I will get to travel abroad for work and it really took me off guard (in a good way).
