Hi Geoff, Just wondering when I can see those projections you’ve been working on. They will be the centrepiece of my Zoom presentation tomorrow afternoon, and I’m keen to get my head around the figures well in advance.
Hi Roy. I’ve nearly finished the projections. Been a bit distracted today. Judy has gone to her hospital job and I’ve had to oversee the kids a bit. Didn’t stop working though, of course. It didn’t help that the four-year-old took his crayons to my printout, haha.
Cheers, Roy

Geoff, I realise there are additional challenges to working from home, but I really need those projections now. I tried calling you but no response.
I think Judy might have taken my work mobile with her. She has the same model phone. You can call me on my personal mobile if you like.
No answer on that phone either. Geoff, this is getting urgent. The COO is sitting in on the Zoom meeting tomorrow, and we can’t afford to not be ready.
Cheers, Roy

Point taken, Roy. I’ll look for the phone when I take a break in half an hour.
Hi again Geoff. Did you find the phone?
Hi Roy. Boy, what a weird day! The kids are bored with iPads, movies and toys, so it’s a bit hectic around here. Still working on the projections. They’re coming along nicely. Cheers, Geoff

From the lack of response when I call can I deduce that your wife does indeed have it? But what about your personal phone? No response to that either.
Roy Smith
Good news! Found them both. But they’re not working at present.
Geoff Rogerson
Try to avoid letting the phone batteries go flat, Geoff. Keep it on charge while you’re working. Roy

I do keep it charged. I’m very careful about that. No worries. Geoff
Geoff Rogerson
Geoff, I still can’t contact you at either phone number. They should be charged enough after two hours. What gives? Roy
Roy Smith
Hi Roy, Yes, the phones won’t be working for a little while. The twins were using them as submarines in the fish tank. Took me ages to locate them. This home-schooling sucks, doesn’t it! I’ve put them in a plastic bag with salt and they should be okay soon. The phones, that is, not the kids haha. Cheers, Geoff

TODAY’S SCHEDULE
Melanie Scruggs, Executive Assistant
Hi Mel, Please cancel all my appointments for today. Apologies to the COO and the other Zoom participants, but I have a terrible headache. Also please arrange for someone in HR to contact Geoff Rogerson. He doesn’t seem to be handling working from home as well as the other BDMs, and could need some assistance, if you know what I mean. Cheers, Roy
