| Shared Level Four Conference Room Liz's Bestie ● Helvetica ● ● Jigglypuff ● Jeff Vader This quiet room is the conference room. It's a designated interview room and can be used if paperwork of a personal nature needs to be filled out. Mostly, it gets used for departmental meetings and case reviews.
Please take a seat and get to work, but keep everything neat and tidy!

| Liz's Bestie ● Helvetica ● ● Jigglypuff ● Jeff Vader Smoothing down her shirt, Becca entered the conference room and settled down at the table. There had been an agreement set up between the two department heads as to who would use the conference and when, so Becca had cleared everything up and was now settled with her paperwork in front of her and paperwork around the table with the employee's names on the top. Becca had done her best to re-place people and gave them all their job descriptions in their paperwork. Hopefully all questions would have been thought up prior to this and were going to be presented.

| Jedi Master•General Iroh•Java Junkie• King ♛ Stefan •Mycroft Holmes•Dragon Lord•Druid Boy With his belly fed and watered for the morning, Albert made his way to their department's shared conference room to officially start the work week. Instead of his trusty umbrella, the man took measured and stealthy steps towards the room carrying a leather-bound portfolio, filled with his division's work details and employees. Though it seemed daunting to look at, he was, however, honoured to be given such responsibility within their department.
Iron fist? They definitely hired the right man for the job.
With his nose in the air, Albert stood to his full height as he showed himself inside the very modest space they call, conference room. "Good morning, Becca," he said in his signature tone and eyed down the other man in the room. Both brows raised, Albert kept a stiff-upper-lip as he walked down the room and elegantly took a seat on Becca's immediate left-hand side, where another set of paperwork was placed with his name on it. "Good morning, Thomas." he continued as he turned his head to face the other employee present. Albert didn't feel the need to introduce himself to the young man. He thought that it was his job to know him, considering that he stayed up late last night to commit each and every employee's name and face to memory. Old habits were simply hard to break.

| Chance Let your light shine || Be the sun || You're important. Always. Chance usually came to work in casual clothes. Something that he could get dirty. He worked with animals after all. Today was no different. He was in khakis with a polo. His hair was still a little disheveled from staying at St. Mungos last night with his wife.
He was tired and young. He needed a good night sleep too. But he was here. He gave a smile to Becky as he entered the room. "Good morning Becks. You doing alright today?" he greeted as he fixed himself a cup of coffee and went to find his name on the packets on the table.
Finding it, Chance took a seat and waited for the meeting to start while he sipped his overly sugared coffee.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Periwinkle Evie Paeng Slytherin Fifth Year | Bre Bear | Asherine | Whisper | Kemmy | Raeney | Madyra | Bumble Bee Today was a beautiful and amazing day. He was just so happy to be alive. He was blessed. He was a morning person but he was also a night owl. He was also very hyper and extra outgoing in the morning hours. some would call him annoying but he would say it's just his personality and he wasn't wrong about that at all. Warren Duchannes made his way into the Ministry of Magic and up to the Magical Creatures department. He set some of his things down at hi desk before walking into the level four conference room.
The southern man smiled at everyone. "Good morning y'all." he had some southern twang, he was born and raised his the great state of Alabama in the most amazing country in the whole world. If asked he would make it very clear that he does love England and rest of Europe. "How are all y'all doin' today?" The former dragon trainer asked everyone in a cheery tone.
He just didn't know where to sit.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Solana Selwyn Slytherin Fifth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Selene Diana Evans Ravenclaw Seventh Year | Snow Miser | Munchy | Molly Hooper | T | Hey, you | Phantom | Mrs. Chris Evans | Brat Pack | Tristalen Lily was slightly nervous as she entered the conference room, a new day in a new ministry was enough to make the usually shy woman even quieter and more skiddish than usual.
She smoothed down her dark hair, a slightly nervous habit she had gained and then took a breath and tried to breathe. "Good Morning Becca. " She said in her normal soft voice, though a small smile was on her face.
She glanced around at her co-workers... Thomas, Albert, Chance, Warren..
Yeah she had studied the employees as well, but the woman was a bit too shy to say the greeting she had practiced, and so she just smiled and gave them all waves before settling into her seat and picking up the paperwork that had her name on it. |

| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! Orientation the previous night had been way too memorable for Rose's liking. Her new boss could Roar as a lioness and she had HUGGED an unknown man she didn't even know the name of, that had turned out to be one of her new colleagues. When that had been revealed the dark haired woman had literally wanted to sink through the floor. It had been so embarrassing and the ID tag mess she hadn't even begun thinking about.
Smoothing down her shocking pink dress with one hand, Rose adjusted the strap on her pink purse with her other hand as she stepped out of the lifts on level 4, and headed straight for the conference meeting room. She'd check out her desk later.
Heading inside the room Rose was so focused on going directly to the table that she didn't see the man Warren standing there until her purse connected with his left arm with a strong whack. Casting a quick glance in his direction Rose immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you. Are you all right?" At least she hadn't him in the head with her umbrella!
After a moment or two Rose licked her lips and left Warren to zero in on Albert that was already sitting at the table next to Becca. When she approached his seat, she held out the VERY pink umbrella and said "This is for you Albert. As a peace offering for hugging you like that last night."

| ∞ 17 | RP entrepreneur | defies gravity | Miss George is flawless | blanket burrito lyfe With a promotion under his belt, Theophilus was ecstatic to get back to work. Honestly, any sort of time off threw him out of sync and he loved having his professional routine in place. So being back in the game was definitely the right thing for him. Strolling into the conference room, Theo smiled wide at those already there, before folding his coat over the back of his chair. "Morning Becca! Morning friends!" He raised a hand in greeting at the others in the room and then went ahead to make himself a coffee to properly start his morning.
Bingo was on tonight and so he had to make sure he was still full of energy after the work day. All the energy needed for number calling.

| Sorry people, RL work sucks! Liz's Bestie ● Helvetica ● ● Jigglypuff ● Jeff Vader When Thomas entered the room, blue eyes raised to meet the man. A smile instantly appeared and Becca moved to stand up. Politeness and all that. "Good Morning, Thomas! How are you today?" Her attention turned to the proud man who entered the room after Thomas and a small look of amusement appeared. "Good Morning, Albert. I trust you are well?" Hopefully the stiffness that she saw would disappear once he became more comfortable. As another man appeared in clothes that were far from first-impression-worthy, Becca looked toward him and tilted her head. "Good Morning, Chance. I am thank you. Are you?" Her eyes flicked to his cup for a moment, but then back to his face. He looked tired. Maybe she'd find out why after the meeting. Hmmm.
The American voice that rang out through the room caused Becca to look at the man, concerned. Had someone cursed him with a bad accent? Surely people didn't dislike him that much? One eyebrow raised as she took the man in and thought back to her files. Ah, American. This must be Warren. "Morning, Warren." First names were totally the theme of the day. Seeing the man hadn't sat down, Becca offered him a smile and pointed to his seat. "You're over there. I hope you're well today." And every other day, but she was asking about today, so...
When another lady entered the room, Becca noticed her nervous habit and gave her a warm, friendly smile. "Morning, Lily. Please, get yourself a drink and relax. We're all friends and co-workers here." No need to be nervous. Instead of focusing on Lily and possibly making her uncomfortable, Becca looked toward the painfully pink outfit and the witch who occupied it. She had to press her lips together to not laugh at the clumsiness of the woman, but managed to keep it from showing too much on her face. Her eyebrows raised again as Rose offered Albert a pink peace offering. Now what would the man do, take it and be graceful or refuse to take something so pink? Hopefully he'd not embarrass her. That would be awful. "Good Morning Rose, I do apologise for making you jump last night. I also personally made sure that your actual ID is spelt correctly. It's in with your paperwork." That should make up for some of the previous evening.
A huge smile appeared when Theophilus strolled in, Becca really did like the man. "Good Morning, Theophilus. I hope you're well." That all of them were, really. Either way, she supposed the meeting had to start at some point.
"Okay everyone, welcome! I know you all know me, but I suppose I need to do something formal at some point, so I am Becca Yenorin, you can call me Becca, Becs, Bec, any of those, or if you're brave enough, you can try to think up a nickname for me." Firestorm had been used before - she'd secretly liked that. "Now that's out of the way, I have three rules. Number one is that anyone who drinks coffee has to ensure that they cast a spell on their mug to hold in the smell. The smell makes me quite unwell and if any passes my lips, don't panic. Just call for my husband up on level two." She wasn't going to tell them how it affected her, just that it was not cool to let that smell hit her. Seriously. "Number two, do not be afraid to ask for anything. If you don't ask, you don't get and I do not want you to be short of anything you need or want." It wasn't fun finding out people wanted things that you could give to them but they just hadn't asked for. "And number three, do your paperwork correctly. I will check it and if it's incomplete or incorrect, I'll quite happily return it to you. This rule works with the second. Ask if you need help working anything out and I'll happily work with you." Was that clear enough?
"Any questions?"

| Jedi Master•General Iroh•Java Junkie• King ♛ Stefan •Mycroft Holmes•Dragon Lord•Druid Boy It was good to know that the gruff-looking man named Thomas Arrowsmith knew his manners. Albert returned the greeting with a slight raise of the corner of his mouth that would pass as an unamused grin. When the next employee came in, Albert's eyes were glued to the man, obviously taken aback by the accent, however, none of the surprised look can be traced on his face. His expression remained blank, as he shifted his gaze from the newcomer, down to his leather portfolio. Albert was quick to put a name on his face and was relieved to see that he was not part of enforcement. Good. He's not exactly, iron-fist material judging by his fashion. More people came in, and Albert was decent enough to greet them by nodding and looking away from them as quick as possible. To him, there was no time for pleasantries considering that they work for the government. Time was valuable within their walls.
And then...the pink woman happened. Rose. Rose Kitridge was her name and Albert almost groaned loudly when he saw that she's going to work for him. Sure, he can work with all sorts of people, even forcing them to do their work, but all the pink?! Even the umbrella she was carrying was pink...and it.was.hideous. Worst of all, it was for him.
Albert could feel the time stop as soon as the woman approached him. He could also feel Becca looking at him, waiting for his reaction. WAS THIS WOMAN MAD?! Why...why would he accept a hideous coloured umbrella? And above all, WHY HIM? Why on his first day? The 56-year-old man straightened up in his chair, looked at the woman with a blank expression and gave his response, "Apology accepted, Rose. You really shouldn't have bothered to give me a present." Albert gave her a sarcastic smile as he took the umbrella from her and hanged it on the table's edge. The man then turned back to his portfolio, immediately dropping his smile and put on his serious mask on. Iron fist, remember? Besides, he has manners so he wouldn't make a scene.
Relieved that the meeting has started, Albert uncapped his fountain pen and waited for Becca to spill important information. The man leaned back in his chair, his left thumb hooked under his chin, and his index finger pressed against his temple. First of all, he's not a fan of coffee. Secondly, why does it feel like they were being schooled by a preschool teacher? Weren't those basic work etiquette?
Oh wait, hold on, most of them still acted like children. They were all present in the Orientation last night, weren't they?

| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! Holding the umbrella out Rose waited and waited for Albert's reaction. A quick glance around the room told her that at least her boss was also awaiting Albert's response. It came eventually, but not in the way she had expected. "I thought a gift was valid considering ...and just so you know I normally don't hug people I don't know. Last night was an exception cause of the cat scare." There, that felt good. Now she had explained herself. Her apology and gift were accepted even though Albert seemed way too gruff and serious for her liking.
Resolutely turning away, Rose's focus turned to the man, Theophilius that entered next. The smile and friend comment seemed a bit premature, but she decided to give him a wide berth since the name tag on the table in front of the chair, where he had hung his coat told her that they were going to be colleagues. Approaching him she put on her most likeable smile and greeted him holding out a pink nailed hand, by the coffee table. "Hi, I don't believe we've met? I'm Rose, newly employed pest control advisor and step up division head."
Fixing herself a mug of coffee with milk Rose headed over to the table and sat down in the chair that had her name on it next to Theophilius. She had just taken out her notepad when Becca adressed her. Smiling brightly in return she said "Good morning Becca, apology accepted. I greatly appreciate that you personally made sure my actual ID is spelt correctly." She contemplated seeking up her boss later in her office to explain her cat fright in case of further events in the future. It felt good to know that she had a boss that cared and showed it.
Rose was sipping on her latte when Becca kicked off the meeting. Roarer was a nickname that came to mind for her boss, but she kept silent. The three ground rules seemed easy enough to follow. The coffee one got raised eyebrows from her, but she did as instructed and used her wand to quickly cast the needed spell on her coffee mug. She wasn't going to make her boss unwell. "I have no questions." Rose murmured in reply. Except for a pest one but she wasn't going to take everyone precious time with it now.

| Liz's Bestie ● Helvetica ● ● Jigglypuff ● Jeff Vader After giving Albert a small glance of both amusement and approval at him just accepting the gift, Becca made a few mental notes on the man and looked him over before focusing back on Rose once she'd sat down. "It's clumsy to have identification documents that are incorrect. I would never allow that to happen within my department." That was an assurance.
Taking a few moments to let people think and either speak up or not, Becca decided that the silence was a deafening 'no' on the question about having questions. "Okay, I'll assume you all have no questions then. Down to business. I have been through this department and read all of the uses for divisions and I've... streamlined positions." Management speak for 'got rid of loads of unnecessary jobs'. "Some of you are still doing the same job, just with added responsibilities and some of you have completely new jobs. I expect you all to know what you need to do within your job which is why your job description is in with your paperwork, along with a list of who is in charge of what so you know who to approach if you should have any issues." She was having none of that 'but I didn't know who to ask!' stuff. "Albert here is heading up the new division I've created - Enforcement. It's really what it says on the tin, enforce the laws. We don't need to run to MLE for every little thing, we're a self sufficient department and I refuse to let anyone get any other impression."
Ahem. Her blue eyes turned to each of them as she spoke. "Creatures has been seen as a joke recently after some of the disasters and while I understand that you all did what you could, we're going to work together to make you all even more capable. I'll be holding training sessions with each division and attendance is recommended, especially for those of you who actually go out to deal with the creatures." Seriously. Turn up people! "Now, before anyone starts to wonder what experience I have for holding training sessions, I'd like to put this out there. I am a fully trained Auror. I used to run the Law Enforcement department in Italy and before that, I ran Mysteries in this very Ministry. You have someone here who can help you and I urge you to use that resource." It would save her from screwing up paperwork into a ball and throwing it at people just to kill the boredom. Heh.
"However, I do expect you all to have a good rapport with MLE so they can call you in on cases where Creatures are involved. Committee Agents, Enforcement Officers and Sentinels will all be put through some more rigorous training so that I know you will be safe if you have to work with dangerous people on top of the creatures. Your safety is paramount to me and I will do everything within my power to help you to help yourselves."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Solana Selwyn Slytherin Fifth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Selene Diana Evans Ravenclaw Seventh Year | Snow Miser | Munchy | Molly Hooper | T | Hey, you | Phantom | Mrs. Chris Evans | Brat Pack | Tristalen Lily's chocolate brown eyes stayed steadily on Becca as the woman spoke, and she nodded quietly as she listened to her speak and then turned towards Albert. He was going to be the head of the department she was in, she knew that much. So she knew where to go as well.
She was a little confused as to why the woman said that the department was a joke. She guessed she would be finding out soon though she supposed? Hazards of joining a department from a different ministry meant she had no idea what was going on.
Though it was going to be weird not to be a division head, but Albert looked extremely capable and she had no qualms at all working under him. And it seemed like her quietness would help out..
The bit about working with the MLE scared her a bit but.. she could do it.. if she had to work with the public due to her husbands postion in the country, she could work with the MLE.
She kept quiet though, but nodded and wrote down a few things in her notebook. |

| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! In hindsight maybe it had been good that she had had incorrect identification documents it hopefully had given someone a wakeup call. Criminals could get into the ministry if things weren't in order. Rose took the assurance from Becca with a grateful nod.
Streamlined spoke its clear language. Her new boss had both fired and given people new jobs and positions. Opening the documents in front of her Rose scanned over it in silence as Becca continued to speak. That Albert was heading a brand new division for enforcing creature laws didn't come as a surprise. The man look stiff and intimidating as it was.
Rose shifted her position in her seat as Becca announced that creatures was seen a joke around the ministry. Which in the brunette's head came as a slap. What recent disasters had caused this? She would like to know and she assumed many with her did too. Becca of course neglected or chose not to delve into that part she just went on to inform them that they would all be attending 'mandatory' division training led by her. Rose didn't doubt her bosses capability but it was nice to know that she was more than qualified. Keeping up a good rapport with the MLE shouldn't be a problem. She was good at making friends.
Turning her eyes to her boss Rose asked since she felt that that she needed to get more knowledge of something that was more of interest right now. "What disasters led to creatures joke stamp? Do we need to rework some creature case routines?"

| Three days is the max I can wait for posts, guys. Liz's Bestie ● Helvetica ● ● Jigglypuff ● Jeff Vader Though Lily hadn't spoken up, Becca still saw her expressions and noted them mentally instead of putting her on the spot. Her eyes turned to Rose when she spoke up. "Good question." Now, how could she word this? "There have been certain failures in the past to contain infestations and deal with them efficiently. Having creatures running around the Ministry doesn't exactly inspire confidence within other departments. We need to work on our disaster protocol, which I will be looking at closely within the next two days." And once she'd made her notes and possible changes, she would be speaking to her division heads and getting their input too. Just to make sure that all aspects were covered.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Periwinkle Evie Paeng Slytherin Fifth Year | *playing catch up* Bre Bear | Asherine | Whisper | Kemmy | Raeney | Madyra | Bumble Bee While Warren was looking for a seat a woman (Rose) had hit him with her purse. It didn't hurt but it had thrown him off guard. "I'm fine, ma'am." the Alabama native said to her with a little nod. After looking around Warren ended up taking a seat near the woman (Rose) that had hit him with the purse. On accident of course. Before he sat down he looked at the woman. "Is it okay if I sit here, ma'am?" he asked. Him calling someone sir or ma'am was a sign of respect, which his mother had taught him.
Now the new department head was talking. He wasn't one to judge but she seemed like she was hung up on the past. Unless he was wrong and she wasn't then he was just understanding all these past achievements very wrong. He had a question for her but he wasn't sure if she had already stated it or not. He was listening but there was just so much she was saying. He had only been here for a year now so he was still transitioning from being a dragon trainer to moving over to an office job. "What makes you qualified to be the department head of Magical Creatures?" it was a serious question to him because he wanted to know if she had worked with creatures. "I'm not meaning that as an insult but I'm just curious if you have experience with working with creatures." There, now no one will be offended by the way he stated his question. He could tell by what she was saying about her previous work that she was more than qualified in the other ministry departments but he wanted to know more about the creature side of things. "I understand that you have the training aspects with being an auror and such..."

Now the new department head was talking. He wasn't one to judge but she seemed like she was hung up on the past. Unless he was wrong and she wasn't then he was just understanding all these past achievements very wrong. He had a question for her but he wasn't sure if she had already stated it or not. He was listening but there was just so much she was saying. He had only been here for a year now so he was still transitioning from being a dragon trainer to moving over to an office job. "What makes you qualified to be the department head of Magical Creatures?" it was a serious question to him because he wanted to know if she had worked with creatures. "I'm not meaning that as an insult but I'm just curious if you have experience with working with creatures." There, now no one will be offended by the way he stated his question. He could tell by what she was saying about her previous work that she was more than qualified in the other ministry departments but he wanted to know more about the creature side of things. "I understand that you have the training aspects with being an auror and such..."
Looking over toward the American, Becca offered a smile to him. Thank Merlin someone had spoken up! She thought everyone had fallen asleep on her! "It most certainly wasn't taken as an insult. You're the ones who know the animals and the job you're given. You have a right to make sure that the person who has been chosen to guide you knows enough so that you're not babysitting them." That was one of the worst things to have to put up with. "I am very familiar with most creatures, I actually had a horse for a very long time and I used to ride him every opportunity I had. In my home, I have a crup and one of my very close friends here has a particular interest in Magical Creatures and has her own sort of homemade zoo and rehabilitation centre for any who may need help. I often help her with the animals, making sure that my children join in too because it's never too early to learn to deal with animals." There, that was the personal side. "Also, I used to work very closely with Magical Creatures in Italy and accompanied the workers there on a few missions where the safety of the staff was in doubt. I helped to contain, obtain and calm several creatures during that time." Did that help him? "Aaaand, if it's any help, I have four children. Five if you count my husband when he's unwell." Becca laughed softly. She could joke and laugh. Not scary at all. "Is there anything else you wish to know, Mr. Duchannes?"

Becca laughed softly. She could joke and laugh. Not scary at all. "Is there anything else you wish to know, Mr. Duchannes?" Warren looked at her as she started talking. What he got out of it was she had no magical creatures training. Good. This was great. He really didn't get to know the last department head because he was pretty sure that that person was very rarely around the Ministry of Magic at all. He had very little to go on, other with what his boss had told him about joining the Ministry of Magic. Actually it had sounded like a warning more than a normal conversation. Apparently strange things go on in the Ministry but he had been here a year so far and he hadn't really noticed anything all that strange. He had understood her joke but he couldn't really related to it because he was single. He was pretty sure marriage wasn't up his alley at the moment.
Warren shook his head once the new Department Head had stopped talking. "No, ma'am." He was sure he didn't want to ask anything else relating to her lack of in field magical creatures experiences. If he had any questions he would mention it to her in her office.

"Good question." Now, how could she word this? "There have been certain failures in the past to contain infestations and deal with them efficiently. Having creatures running around the Ministry doesn't exactly inspire confidence within other departments. We need to work on our disaster protocol, which I will be looking at closely within the next two days." And once she'd made her notes and possible changes, she would be speaking to her division heads and getting their input too. Just to make sure that all aspects were covered. Rose let her eyes glance around the table at her new work colleagues faces wondering why it was just her and Warren that were asking questions. Were they intimidated by Becca? Or did they not feel right in speaking up and sharing their thoughts about what they were discussing? Regardless Rose raised her brows and responded "If I may, then I'd like to assist you in revising our creature disaster protocol Becca?" That her new colleagues in the past had been running around in the ministry like dizzy kneazles was disturbing and of course didn't inspire confidence from the other departments. Trying to see some positivity Rose commented confidently. "Training should give us the platform we need to be able to contain and deal with creatures more efficiently. Maybe down the line we can give employees from other departments creature training courses?"

| Liz's Bestie ● Helvetica ● ● Jigglypuff ● Jeff Vader When Warren finally said no, Becca gave him a nod of appreciation. At least he'd spoken up at some point. Her blue eyes turned to Rose and a smile started at her mouth and reached all the way to the very same eyes that were focused on Rose. "I would greatly appreciate your help in revising the protocols, thank you." That kind of eagerness would really help in this department. "Of course, I definitely believe that if people can approach me with a 'lesson plan' of sorts and they have a definitive direction they want to take a training course then we can most certainly implement that." It would help for people to have a knowledge just in case something else happened and the disaster protocols failed again. Not that Becca would allow them to do so easily.

The more he see's her the better it will be. The man took out his little notebook and began writing some notes down. This was still a lot different than training a dragon. He thought dragons were easier to train that working at the Ministry of Magic but he liked a challenge. He looked over at the department head and started writing some more notes down.

| DERP Meeting ❅ Purple Lightsaber ❅| | Captain Sarcastic | Normally Noah would have held the meeting on the patio but this was more of a formal meeting. Right at eight O'clock in the morning, his employees could gather have the meeting and continue onto their own work. Since the meeting was so early and the first thing in the morning he had stopped by the coffee cart to get Coffee and tea for the meeting. Along with a number of pastries and breakfast sandwiches. It was the least that he could do for his department.
He had arranged the food in a corner of the conference room. Where he grabbed himself a doughnut and a cup of coffee. Taking a seat at the end of the table, he adjusted his pale green tie before settling down in the chair. Once he was settled he flipped though his papers he had for the meeting making sure every thing was in order. Now all he needed was the employees to show up.

| The Kisapaths | Sila!Roti | -2 | TouchableHair | ToiletPaperGuy | QueenOfConfusion Olly had wondered all morning what this meeting was going to be about. It was a somewhat unusual time to have one but she didn't mind it per se. Maybe they had gotten new assignments. Or maybe it was about the interns.
Either way, she was here, holding a cup of tea she'd brought herself and walking into the conference room. "Morning." Olly offered while taking a seat at the table. If she'd known there was going to be breakfast she wouldn't have had it at home. Huh. Maybe she could take something back to her work station after this meeting was over. |
