   In local news, the Northfield Public Library will start lending tools next month.

    Sam: You look tired. Is everything OK?
    Jordan: I start my new job on Monday, and I keep thinking about it. What if I don't remember everyone's names?

    Jordan keeps thinking about the new job and worries about forgetting names. The word "nervous" is not said, so this is an inference.
