“Hi Janet. Just to let you know, the catering is going to be 20 minutes late, and the delegation from Australia is through the airport and on Skytrain headed downtown, here in 20 minutes”.
“OK David. Thanks. Is the room ready?”
“Yes. The IT stuff is set up and tested, Natalie’s on call, and marketing is waiting for you to call.”
“Great! I’m on Seaside and about 15 minutes away. Greet the Aussies and show them to the room if I don’t arrive first”.
“OK. Say, Janet, what’s it like out there?”
“Really nice. I’m under a bunch of cherry trees right now. I almost don’t want to leave. But better get moving. See you in 15.”
“Bye”.
