we were offering.

So, why don't I pick you up at 5:00?
(W) That's be great - if you are sure it's OK. I know it's very early for you.
(M) It's no big deal.
Questions 56 through 58 refer to the following conversation
(W) Before you leave today, I'd like you to look over the schedule and let me know if it meets with your approval. I've
tried to accommodate your requests.
(M) OK. Let's see. Oh, you've put me on the early shift next month. I hadn't expected that.

like it.

the estimates from the caterers for next month's conference. They are all asking a lot more than we expected. I guess we have a couple
of options, so I'd like to run them by you and get your feedback. We could look for a fourth caterer, but it's aldready close to the date
of the conference and there's no guarantee they'd be cheaper anyway. Or, we could ask them to give us a less expansive menu
with fewer dishes. Maybe we could get one with lots of bread or pasta so that people feel full. We could see how much that would cost.
Let me know what you think !
