[VOA 매일 영어] 쉬운 일이 아닙니다. It’s no picnic.

A: John, I wish I could trade my job with yours.
J: Oh really? You think you want to switch with me?
A: Yeah, I wish I could travel to a different country once a month.
J: Trust me, it's no picnic. I'm telling you, my job is no picnic.
A: Oh? What makes it so tough?
J: There's a ton of paperwork to wade through, mandatory trainings to complete, and various exams to pass just to get those certifications. And don't even get me started on the endless reports I have to submit. Plus, there's the constant juggling act of managing people here while also keeping an eye on things from afar. And then, add in dealing with difficult people on top of all that? Not exactly a walk in the park.
