Did you find this in a textbook? It really does not make any sense. No wonder you are having difficulties understanding it. If you are interested in lessons with real textbooks let me know.

Hi RyoRyo:
I am somewhat puzzled by this myself, and this is the difficulty when one reads or hears people using slang expressions and colloquialisms ( expressions associated with a limited segment of the population). At any rate, what B is saying, is not really logically or grammatically coherent.
It possibly means that A says that the only thing "interesting" that has been going on, is work.
Then, B, having nothing original to say, simply affirms what A is saying, and says something that equates to; "Oh. Just more work, eh?"
What we can see here is the common colloquialism in the expression, LIKE. This may be associated with another confusing colloquialism that finds expression in a kind of "chit-chat" as follows:
"So he says to me; 'Girl, you better do something about that!'"
And I was like...."What, dude? You better shut up!"
These expressions are to be avoided like a bad cold in speaking and writing.
Not all American colloquialisms are of value.
.--Warm Regards, Bruce
