Yes, the meeting seemed to go pretty well and we covered all the important areas in my agenda. There were one or two small points that I would have liked to have got through but I can probably have my assistant send up memos to the managers of each department concerning these. I must say I was very impressed with your ideas for the future of your department. Good work, I’m also very impressed with that young man in the finance department. What’s his name? Uh, Mike. He could have quite a future in front of him. I can certainly use fresh ideas like his in this company.

And Androme, have you got those figures for the suggestions for the new courses that we hope to-be able to offer? Or were those in the file that you left in the office, too. I’d like to take them with me to the interdepartmental meeting this afternoon, as it should be a good opportunity to try to persuade everyone there of the value of the new courses, and the new language training scheme in particular. If I’m successful in this, it could mean some profitable expansion for all of us in our department. So please remember to get them to me this time.
