PRIYA: The client wants the report by Thursday instead of next Monday. DANIEL: That's three days gone. We haven't even received the sales figures from the Calgary office. MARIE: I can call Calgary this afternoon. They usually send numbers on Wednesdays, but they could send last month's data now. PRIYA: Last month's data is fine for the draft. We can update it in the final version. DANIEL: My worry is the charts. Building them takes me a full day, and I'm at the training session tomorrow. MARIE: Could you skip the training? It's repeated in December. DANIEL: I'd rather not. My manager signed me up specially. PRIYA: Then I'll do the charts using your template, and you review them Wednesday morning. Marie, can you write the summary? MARIE: Yes, as long as I have the numbers by tonight.
