Tell us what is wrong and we'll fix it.
Number seven.
When does the sales meeting start?
Oh, didn't you get the email? It's been moved to Friday.
Number eight.
Would you like me to print the reports for you?
Oh, thanks, but I've already emailed them to everyone.
Number nine.
Ugh, why isn't the printer on the third floor working?
Don't worry, a technician is coming to fix it this afternoon.
Number ten.
Who's in charge of ordering office supplies now?
Hmm, I think that's the assistant manager's job.
Number eleven.
Can you send me the updated budget by noon?
I'm afraid I'm still waiting for the numbers from accounting.
Number twelve.
You're coming to the training session tomorrow, aren't you?
Yes, of course! I signed up last week.
Number thirteen.
Where should we take the clients for lunch?
How about that new Italian place on Main Street? It's great!
Number fourteen.
Wait, isn't the parking garage closed this week?
Only the top level, so you can still park downstairs.
Number fifteen.
Should we hold the workshop in Room A or Room B?
Well, Room B is bigger, but it doesn't have a projector.
Number sixteen.
I can't believe we finished the project two weeks early!
I know! Everyone worked really hard.
Number seventeen.
How long will the system upgrade take?
It depends on how many files we need to move.
Number eighteen.
Has the new manager been introduced to the team yet?
Not yet. She starts on Monday.
Number nineteen.
Sorry, would you mind locking up the office tonight?
Not at all. I'm staying late anyway.
Number twenty.
Why don't we ask the marketing team for help?
Good idea! They're not too busy this month.
