Not bad at all. It took me only twenty minutes to get here. By the way, I was wondering about my hours. I arrived here at nine today. Would it be better if I got here earlier on some days?
Yes. Would you mind getting here around eight-thirty?
Not at all. And when do you usually leave, five o'clock?
Well, we usually leave when the work's done. Sometimes that's six or even later. Let's play it by ear.
No problem. And one more thing. Could you tell me how the telephone works?
Sure. Dial 9 for an outside line, and then the number you are calling. If you want to contact anyone in the office, just dial their extension.
