A: I've been waiting here in the conference room for ten minutes already. What time does our meeting start? Where is everyone anyway?
B: Didn't you hear about that? Our meeting was prosponed until Friday.
A: what? The meeting was prosponed? No one told me anything about it.
B: didn't you get the memo?
A: what memo? There haven't been any memos this whole week. I check my inbox every day, and I haven't seen anything.
B: the memo went out three days ago. It should have made it to your in-box, but maybe it got lost in all the clutter on your desk.
A: you know how things get piled up on my desk when I am busy—I know that sometimes I do misplace things, but I always read all the memos that go around. They go directly to my in-box. Are you sure it was sent to the whole office?
B: it should have gone around to everybody. They also posted a copy of the memo in the break-room. Don't you ever look at the messages posted on the bulletin board?
A: I'm usually too busy to take a bunch of coffee breaks and gossip by the water cooler. Anyway, I am sure the memo never got to my in-box. I'll have to talk to our secretary about it.
B: that's right. You never know what you're missing out if you don't read the memos.
