At the workplace
Mark: Hi Emily, do you have a quick minute to discuss the project updates?
Emily: Hey Mark, sure thing. Let’s grab a meeting room so we can go over everything.
Mark: Good idea. I just wanted to touch base on the timeline and make sure we’re on the same page.
Emily: Absolutely. I reviewed the draft you sent over, and it looks solid. I just had a couple of questions about the deliverables for next week.
Mark: Got it. What specifically do you need clarification on?
Emily: Mainly the deadlines for the design phase. Are we still aiming for Wednesday, or do we need to adjust that?
Mark: Let’s stick to Wednesday for now. If anything changes, I’ll loop you in right away.
Emily: Perfect. Also, have you had a chance to sync with the client yet?
Mark: Not yet, but I’ve scheduled a call with them for tomorrow morning. I’ll keep you updated on any feedback they provide.
Emily: Sounds good. Let’s circle back after that call to align on next steps.
Mark: Agreed. Oh, and don’t forget to CC me on the email to the vendor about the budget approval.
Emily: Will do. I’ll send that over by the end of the day.
Mark: Thanks, Emily. I appreciate you staying on top of that.
Emily: No problem. Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
Mark: Absolutely. By the way, how’s the new intern working out on your end?
Emily: They’re doing great! Picking things up quickly and really proactive. I’ll make sure to give them a shout-out in our next team meeting.
Mark: That’s great to hear. Well, I’ll let you get back to your tasks. Let me know if you need anything else.
Emily: Same here. Have a productive day, Mark!
Mark: You too, Emily. Talk soon!
