Writing exercise

Original:

I had a crazy busy today. I started coding in the morning, then one of my bosses called me to ask whether our team could accept a new task. I told him that we need to consider it before we gave the decision. Then I called a meeting to discuss the issue, obviously none of them wanted to do the task, and one team member called our mentor to ask whether we could decline the task. But, we can’t, because it’s assigned to us, as our team services the boss, and he can assign task for us.
Therefore we have to accept it happily.

I had a crazy busy day today. I started coding in the morning, when one of my bosses called me to ask whether our team could accept a new task. I told him that I needed to discuss it with the team before we  could  make a decision. Then I called a meeting to discuss the issue, but obviously none of them wanted to do the task. One team member called our mentor to ask whether we could decline the task, but because it had already been assigned to us, we couldn’t. Our team is at the boss’ service and he can assign us tasks, therefore we have to accept it happily.
