I apologize for not coming to work yesterday.

I heard some rather confusing rumors. I do hope everything will turn out okay.
I'm sure the legal department is doing their best.

Shiba-sanKuukaku-san, how nice to see you back at work.

I have to cut down on the work today - doctor's orders.
Kotsubaki-san, I need you to cancel my lunch meeting with the Korean company, as well as the appointment with Vaizard Inc.'s director. I believe her name was Sarugaki Hiyori. I have to concentrate on the board meeting this afternoon.

The launch of the new product seems to go more then well.
I'm proud of the accomplishments of the company.
What would we do without our employees, hmm?

( Private )

Oh my, did you all hear that? I truly hope no one is hurt. Unohana-san?
It's been a while since something exploded over there. Last time we had to evacuate.
I hope we do not have to go that far, this time?

Yare, yare... explosions, and it's still snowing outside.
Rather eventful start of the new year, don't you think so?

Notes for the day:

08:00 - Meeting
10:00 - Finish the year-end report and mail it to Ishida-san
11:00 - Meeting
12:00 - Lunch
13:00 - Continue with the files that built up during my absence
15:00 - Archive the finished files

There's probably more, but these are the important things.

Kotetsu-san, Kotsubaki-san, please find the files on the Korean company for me?
I'll need it before the second meeting today, if you can find it.

Oh, and thanks to the maintenance for putting salt on the pond bridge.
It looked like it could be rather slippery otherwise, in this weather.
