"Is that everyone?" asked Attica, looking around. She was sure there were more than four people in the maintenance department. However, after a few minutes, no one else had arrived for the meeting and Attica was forced to continue. She hoped some more people showed up soon, but until then, she had a job to do.

Attica rubbed her hands together and looked around at the group.

"Well, everyone, I must say once again how pleased I am to meet you all. I hope that we will make a great team, though I know it will take time for us to get used to working together. I wanted to start out with my expectations for you as department head, just so that there aren't any misunderstandings, and so that you guys don't have to wander around wondering whether something you might be doing is right or wrong. I expect all my employees to come to work on time which is a standard for any place of employment. I expect you to be properly attired in your Maintenance robes or coveralls, depending on the occasion. I wouldn't want you mopping up flobberworm pus in your good robes, so coveralls will do nicely for day to day operations. I encourage you to use any means possible to keep the Ministry clean, tidy, and running efficiently, whether you choose to do that by magical or Muggle means. You will find supplies for both options available in the Supply closet located down the hall. If ever you see the supply closet running low on something, leave a note on my desk in the Magical Maintenace and Security Office. I will check my inbox frequently throughout the day, so that will be the best way to let me know about stuff like that. Does anyone have any comments, questions, suggestions, or complaints so far?"
