　　Situation 5:
        　　Arriving at Work
        　　Good morning,James.You're early.What's up?
        　　Morning,Steve.Early is right.I've got two important
        　　meetings today;one with the boss and one with a client.
        　　You're pretty early yourself,something important?
        　　Yeah,I'm meeting a client,too.Someone from a big computer
        　　company.I think their headquarters are in Taiwan,
        　　but this guy runs the New York office.
        　　Wang Computers.That's my client,too.
        　　But I think the owner is a Chinese-American;I'm not sure if they
        　　even have an office in Taiwan.I guess we're working
        　　on this account together.
        　　Good.To tell you the truth I was a little scared.The
        　　account is really big;it's just too much
        　　work for one man.Say,what time do you meet with the boss,
        　　Mr.Barnes?
        　　Ten-thirty,why?
        　　I was right.We are on this account together.
        　　I'm scheduled General Version-tSMM to meet
        　　with Mr.Barnes at ten-thirty,too.
        　　Well then,partner,let's get Situbusy preparing someth-
        　　ing for the meeting.
        　　Good idea.Where should we begin?
        　　I don't know about you but I always
        　　begin big projects by going to the bathroom,
        　　and then with a James hot cup of coffee.Can
        　　you wait for me?
        　　Just hurry.I'll get the coffee ready.
        　　That sounds like an excellent plan.
