Dear Ms. Sorensen,
I am writing at your written request about Antonio Reyes, whom I supervised directly at Kingsford Services for four years. Although he was hired for entry-level work, training new staff was added to his duties in his second year.
Throughout a --(135)-- period of heavy demand that lasted from March through August, we worked with two fewer employees. Staff at his level are not expected to reorganize their own coverage. --(136)--, he drafted a revised rotation and reviewed it with me.
You asked me to comment on his scheduling experience. His authority never extended beyond a single shift. --(137)--. He also corrected errors in the weekly time records.
I recommend Mr. Reyes without reservation and appreciate your --(138)--.
Sincerely,
Andrew Pittman

Date: March 14
Subject: Tuesday morning room booking
Dear Ms. Aldridge,
Our department holds a standing booking for Room 214 on Tuesday mornings, and I am writing to ask that it be moved to a larger room. Two teams have joined the meeting since January, and attendance has grown from eight to nineteen. --(143)--. The replacement room would need seating for twenty, a wall screen, and table space for printed handouts.
Tuesday mornings remain our preference. Once a larger room is assigned, we --(144)-- no further changes this year, though we are --(145)-- to meet on Wednesday or on another floor if necessary. Could you also tell me what the room setup service covers and whether advance notice is required?
Upon your --(146)-- of the change, we will release Room 214 immediately. Please reply before next Tuesday. My extension is 47.
Regards,
Edward Brennan

Support Home | Billing | Meter Readings
This page is for account holders whose latest statement shows estimated usage. Once a reading is recorded here, your figure replaces the estimate and the account is corrected.
To record a reading, enter the eight-digit account number from your statement. Then copy the serial code printed on the meter, calling the support desk if it cannot be read. The reading is entered from left to right, and a photograph of the display must be attached. Account holders may also choose an optional e-mail reminder before each reading period closes.
Readings must reach us within ten days of the statement date, except on accounts with a remote meter, which report automatically. How often readings are accepted depends on the account class, as shown below.

Saturday Room Assignments
Participants: Tomas Herrera, Nadia Fowler, Yusuf Aydin
Tomas Herrera (10:12 A.M.): The seminar group has raised its number from 30 to 48. We put them in the Juniper Room, and that room seats 35, so we'll have to set up something larger for Saturday.
Nadia Fowler (10:15 A.M.): Then let's trade rooms. The awards dinner has the Aspen Room and only 24 guests. Would Juniper still suit them?
Tomas Herrera (10:19 A.M.): Easily. They want round tables, and Juniper has those. Chairs are the problem. Aspen needs twenty more, and ours are stacked in Juniper.
Nadia Fowler (10:24 A.M.): Yusuf, is there time to shift them across this afternoon?
Yusuf Aydin (10:31 A.M.): Doable, if someone helps me with the stacks. I'm changing the bulbs in Aspen after lunch anyway.
Nadia Fowler (10:36 A.M.): Good. I'll call the seminar organizer, Tomas tells the florist where the dinner flowers go now, and the chairs must be in place before setup closes at 4:00 P.M.
- A. At a flower shop
