| Nick: Have you finished organizing the sales reports yet? Ryan: No, I haven’t. A client called this morning complaining about some technical problem, so I have been working on that all morning. Nick: After you handle the client’s problem, will you organize the reports? Ryan: There are a few other things I need to handle first, but I will get around to organizing the reports later today. Nick: Okay. Organizing the reports is not a high-priority, but it is important that we finish it relatively soon. Ryan: I understand. Just some unexpected things have come up, so I haven’t gotten around to doing it. Don’t worry. I’ll get it done. Nick: Great. | |
