NOTICE-CASUAL FRIDAYS

A number of staff members have expressed an interest in Casual Friday. I realize that this custom _____(1) in many offices nowadays.

I appreciate the fact that many of you have discussed this matter with me _____(2), and pointed out that our strict dress code is outdated.

Because so many people have expressed an interest in dressing casually once a week, we will have Casual Friday in this office starting next week. While we want to be relaxed, we do not want _____(3) our coworkers to styles of dress that may make them feel uncomfortable.

So, while the dress code will be relaxed, it does not mean that you can wear anything you want. Shoes and shirts are required, and beach and gym attire are unacceptable.

I'm at the reception area for Dandridge & Associates to check up on the painting crew's progress. I'm not sure about the paint color being used on the rear wall. It's that deep green tone Ms. Bryant wanted, but it doesn't match well with the flooring or front desk.

 

Dolly O'Hare 10:42
I was afraid that might be the case as it seemed too dark. Could you drop by her office and ask her to come have a look at it? Maybe you can suggest a few colors that are more suitable.

 

Drake Hartford 10:45
OK. I'll see if she is available and let you know what she wants to do. I'll recommend some colors as well. I think light brown, ivory, or even beige would look nice.

 

Drake Hartford 10:58
She came and had a look and completely agrees with us. So, I've told the crew members not to continue painting that wall today. She will go with the first option I proposed.

 

Dolly O'Hare 11:00
Perfect. OK, go ahead and have Triple A Hardware mix up the paint the crew will need. You can get it delivered to the site and have the store bill my account.

 

Drake Hartford 11:09
I just asked Triple A about the paint, but they are backlogged with other orders and deliveries. The soonest the new paint can be here is at 1 P.M. on Wednesday.

 

Dolly O'Hare 11:11
No worries. The crew is ahead of schedule anyway, so they can work on other tasks in the meantime.

Hi Lena,

Thanks so much for the invitation! I would love to go with you to the ballet premiere. Fraulein Danza Company has done amazing work at the shows I've seen before, so I'm sure this performance will be fantastic as well. Besides, I'm a really big fan of Sofia Pinsky. You must have had a lot of fun interviewing her and Igor Petrovich at their studio yesterday.

I can meet you at the theater at 7:30 on May 9 if you want, or maybe we can get together earlier for dinner. There is a nice place right next to the Gladstone Theater called Carlotta's Bistro. Let me know if you'd like to do that.

Thanks again. I am really looking forward to it!
