M (83) As many of you know, we’ve hired Choice Co. to get rid of the insect problem in our building. (84) Their crew was supposed to come this afternoon, but I just got a call from the owner, who said that they have to reschedule for tomorrow at 9:00 A.M. The chemicals they’ll be using won’t damage your office furniture or equipment, but it is recommended that you put any cups, dishes, or eating utensils into a closed drawer. (85) We’ve arranged temporary work spaces for tomorrow at the Elkton branch, so you should meet in the lobby at the normal start time. One of their employees will show you where to go. Thank you for your cooperation.

M Good morning, everyone. I’ve organized this brief training session to help you make the internship program worthwhile to both the company and the interns themselves. (89) As department
directors, you’ll be responsible for assigning appropriate tasks to the interns as well as mentoring them and teaching them about our business. (90) I passed out extra security badges to each of you when you came in. These badges will be active for today only. They should be used by the interns until they can get permanent ID badges from the security desk. You’ve already been e-mailed a list of the interns assigned to your department. (91) If someone fails to arrive by 1:00 P.M. as scheduled, please let me know immediately.
