MANAGER S WORKING DAY
Mr Price stood at the window of his office. He had stopped working at last. The building was empty.
Everyone has gone home by half past five. Now it was half past six and the street below had emptied.
What a busy day he had had! He had arrived at the offi
ce well before .nine o'clock. Why, before nine
o'clock he had made two telephone calls! The other offices were still empty when he had phoned, so of
course nobody had answered the telephone. Poor Mr Price!
But then he had opened all the correspondence. B
y ten o'clock he had dictated replies to nearly all the
letters. When Miss King left the room he had started to make telephone calls again. By the time the
Acting Manager sent for him he had talked to three of the buyers. When the Acting Manager had asked
him for information about Stocks he had been able to give the information from memory. He was sure
the Acting Manager had noticed that!
By one o'clock he had examined the figures from the production sheets and he had signed a dozen
letters for Miss King.
By two o'clock he had had his lunch and he had done a lot more work on those
production figures. By three o'clock he had found two mistakes! By four o'clock he had seen both the
Production Manager and the Foreman. He had asked them for an explanation. He
had pointed out that
the explanation was urgent. By ten o'clock tomorrow the corrected figures must be on his desk. Mr Price
sighed. What a load of responsibility he had!
Mr Price sighed again. Tomorrow he must make more telephone calls; he must dictate
more letters; he
must1 try again to speak to the Acting Assistant Manager. But now he must go home., He put on his coat
and his hat. He picked up his attache case and his umbrella and went to the door. He locked the door
and walked towards the lift. Then h
e stopped. He had turned off the electric fire near his desk. It was a quarter to seven. Really he worked too hard!
