Miss Witt : Good morning, Mr. Evans. I'm the new secretary.

Mr. Evans : Good morning, Miss Witt. You're a half hour early.

Miss Witt : I don't want to make a bad impression.

Mr. Evans : Come on over. This is your desk, and this is your time card. Be sure to clock in and out before and after you work.

Miss Witt : I will.

Mr. Evans: One more thing. Keep your desk neat. It's the rule.There's no exception, even the art designers have to keep their desks neat.

Miss Witt : I'll keep that in mind....Does everything on this desk belong to me?

Mr. Evans : Not belong. You can use them as long as you work here. When you quit, you'll have to return them to the company.

Miss Witt : What's the extension number for my phone?

Mr. Evans: The operator will put all your calls through. You don't have to worry about that.

Miss Witt : Can I make personal phone calls during office hours?

Mr. Evans : Of course you can. Every one has his personal matters to deal with more or less, but don't chat over the phone. What's more, don't let it hinder your work and the company's business.

Miss Witt : I understand.

Mr. Evans: When you settle down, I'll show you around and introduce you to the department managers.
