Welcome back, Caryn! How was the conference on International Business Regulations?
Caryn Clark
8:03 A.M
It was incredibly informative! It was a long trip to get to the U.K., but it was worth it. I attended a lot of useful lectures throughout the week.
Earl Stefanski
8:05 A.M
I reviewed the conference program, and it looks like those experts covered several topics that are relevant to our corporation.
Caryn Clark
8:06 A.M.
They did! We've been planning to expand into Europe for a few years. At this conference, I learned a lot about the differences between European and American corporate regulations.
Rowan Garcia
8:07 A.M
That is precisely why I was disappointed that we couldn't send more people.
Caryn Clark
8:08 A.M
I understand. It was an expensive conference. I'll be delivering a 8:08 A.M. presentation next week that summarizes the lectures I attended, but think next year we need to send more people.
Earl Stefanski
8:10 A.M.
Where is the conference being held next year? If it's closer then we can discuss it.
Carýn Clark
8:11 A.M.
It'll be here in the U.S., in Seattle, which eliminates the travel costs. I strongly recommend that most members of our department go.
Earl Stefanski
8:13 A.M.
Okay. I'll get things started. If I file an expense request before next year's budget is created, we'll be more likely to get approval.

At 8:13 A.M., what does Mr. Stefanski mean when he writes, "I'll get things started"?
refer to the following review.
Best-selling novelist Ken Wrigley triumphs again with his latest book, On the Tightrope, the second installment of the popular Annie Harrison series. The plot grips the reader from the very first page. When a famous pop star goes missing, Detective Annie Harrison is assigned to the case. But her journey to find the truth behind the disappearance leads her to a mysterious underground society. The story's twists and turns will leave you guessing until the dramatic ending.
The book was a pleasure to read, and I especially loved Wrigley's creation of one-of-a-kind characters, who I was thinking about long after I had finished the book. -[1]- However, a portion of Detective Harrison's background is given in the previous book in the series, An Open Door, so I recommend reading that one before going on to On the Tightrope. -[2]-Wrigley's publisher has hinted that the final book in the trilogy, No Way Out, will be released as early as next year, but very few details have been provided.
-[3]- Wrigley has been doing book signings across the U.S., and on May 1 he plans to hold a live online session, during which fans will be able to chat and ask questions in real time. Wrigley will also attend the awards banquet for the National Writers Association on May 13. -[4]- He has been nominated for three awards.
