person A: I really wish I had been able to finish that project yesterday.
person B: I'm sorry to hear that you couldn't finish it! What couldn't you finish?
person A: It was a project for work. I was going to get a bonus if I met yesterday's deadline. I could really kick myself about not being able to finish on time.
person B: Hey you are being too hard on yourself. I'm sure your boss would prefer it done well and not rushed. 
person A: Yeah_comma_ maybe so_comma_ but I really could have used that bonus.
