Please arrive at the desk --(131)-- ten minutes before the meeting. Some staff ask whether weekly visitors may go up alone. They may not, but hosts are able to --(132)-- visitors' names in advance, and badges will be ready.

Beginning on March 17, the staff cafeteria will accept payment only by prepaid employee card. Given the clear --(139)-- of a two-week trial at one counter, where lines moved twice as quickly, management has approved the change for all counters.
Each employee must collect a card at the reception desk and register it before that date. Cards issued this week --(140)-- automatically on March 17, when cash payment ends.
--(141)--. Value can be added at the machine beside the entrance, and any unused balance carries over each week.
A help desk in the lobby will remain open for three weeks to answer questions. --(142)-- employees are asked to visit the reception desk this week. Please contact me at extension 214 with any questions. Thank you.

Culver Frame Studio staff chat, Thursday
Warren, 10:12: A customer wants to use her $20 credit voucher on order 4418, which our 15 percent promotion has already reduced. She picked the frame color with me. Is that allowed?

Warren, 10:20: Her voucher expires on April 9. Could we allow one exception?
Desmond, 10:22: The corners came out well. 4418 is ahead of schedule.
Colette, 10:25: Go ahead.
Warren, 10:26: Thank you. Do I deduct the full amount?

To: Adrian Kovacs
Date: February 6
Subject: Return of Car 7
Dear Mr. Kovacs,
This e-mail confirms that you have returned Car 7, which you signed out for the Site Surveys department. The entries made when the car left the desk and when it came back are set out below for your records.
| Entry | Sign-out | Return |
|---|---|---|
| Date | February 3 | February 6 |
| Odometer reading | 24,180 | 24,655 |
| Fuel level | Full | One quarter |
| Condition note | No marks recorded | Scratch on rear door reported |
As a reminder, when a car is handed back, the borrower enters the closing odometer reading, returns the keys and the fuel card to the pool desk, and describes any new marks on the car. Where the fuel level on return is below one half, the borrower also informs the desk, which then orders the refill and charges the cost to the borrower's department.
Please also note that on February 20 this car will be taken off the booking schedule for scheduled servicing.
Best regards,
Melinda Grant
