Hey did you finish the quarterly report yet?
Not yet, I'm waiting on the final numbers from the downtown office.
They said it would be ready by Tuesday afternoon.
Okay, that should be fine. The presentation isn't until Thursday morning.
Right, but we need to review it first. Can we block time on Wednesday?
Sure, I'll send a meeting invite. Morning or afternoon?
Afternoon works better for me. Say two o'clock?
Done. Did you hear about the new project management software?
Only vaguely. Is it replacing the current system?
That's the plan, starting next fiscal quarter.
Another change. It takes so long to get used to these new platforms.
I know, but they claim this one is more intuitive.
They always say that. Remember the last switch?
How could I forget? Took months to get the team fully trained.
Well, I hope the training sessions are scheduled properly this time.
Me too. On a different note, are you going to the department lunch?
I think so. Is it at the usual place?
Yes, the Italian restaurant on Main Street.
Good, they have great salads. What time?
Noon sharp. They reserved the back room.
I'll be there. I need to leave a bit early that day for a dentist appointment.
No problem. Just let the manager know.
Will do. Back to work, this email backlog is daunting.
Tell me about it. I cleared fifty yesterday and forty more came in overnight.
It never ends. Okay, talk later.
Sounds good. Don't forget to send those figures when you get them.
I won't. I'll forward them as soon as they land in my inbox.
The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend.
I saw that. I might finally get the garden cleaned up.
That's a big job. My lawn needs mowing too.
It's that time of year. Everything grows so fast.
I need to buy mulch. The garden center is having a delivery special.
Oh, I should look into that. My flower beds are looking sparse.
They have a good selection of perennials right now.
Maybe I'll stop by on Saturday if I have time.
We could go together if you want. I'm planning to head there around ten.
That might work. Let me confirm on Friday.
Okay. I'm going to grab some coffee. Do you want anything?
No, I'm good, thanks. I just had some tea.
All right, back in a bit.
The office is quiet today. A lot of people are out.
Yeah, there's that conference happening.
Makes for easier parking at least.
True. The lot was nearly empty this morning.
I have a question about the travel policy for the upcoming trip.
You should check the updated document on the portal.
I did, but it's still referencing the old mileage rate.
You might need to contact finance directly.
I'll send them a note. It's confusing.
It always is. They need to simplify these policies.
Agreed. Well, I suppose I should get back to these spreadsheets.
Good luck. I'm diving into budget planning myself.
Fun times. Talk to you at two on Wednesday.
Wait, before you go, did you submit your time sheet?
Oh, not yet. Thanks for the reminder.
The deadline is today at four.
I'll do it right now. Appreciate the heads-up.
No problem. I almost forgot mine last week.
It's easy to lose track of these administrative tasks.
Especially when you're focused on bigger projects.
Exactly. Okay, submitting now.
All set?
Yes, all done. That was painless.
Great. Now, the report numbers.
Right. I'll follow up with the downtown office after lunch.
Perfect. I'll see you at noon then.
Looking forward to it. A break will be nice.
Definitely. Alright, I'm off for that coffee.
See you soon.
