Phil -
Hey there. I hope you're well. How are the wife and kids? So, I'm writing to schedule a meeting with you so we can discuss the recent surge of meetings happening in our office recently. While I do love a good meeting (especially when the company caters!)there have been so many meetings and I'm wondering just what's going on during all them. Do you have time to meet soon?
Best.

Not sure if you knew this but I am divorced and my wife has custody of the kids. Haven't seen them in a while but no biggie. It's all good. Don't sweat the small stuff, right? Ha.
Anyway, yes, I have been noticing all the meetings happening here. Heck, I think I've been in half of them. Double ha! So having a meeting to discuss why we have so many meetings is a great idea and just what we need to reduce the frequent long and tedious meetings we have here at our company. What's your availability like? And I thought I was the only one who loved the catering here. Have you had their corn chowder?

P - so glad you're on board. It's so important that we see eye-to-eye and that the synergy of this company is so strong. We set an example for the others and when we agree, its a wonderful thing. Agreed?
And the corn chowder? Nope, never had it. But you must let me know about it when they serve it again.
My availibiltiy: looking rough for the next month or so. I have meetings just about every day and then a luncheon or a dinner... one of those... and then there's that conference in Bathesda. You know the one with salesmen getting embarrasngly drunk and wearing ties around their heads like a warrior bandana. Too funny. But I should be open sometime in mid-February. Sorry about the wife and kids. I have a husband and a few kids of my own. I never see them though because I am a working woman. Hear me roar. Roar! Ha. Did I scare you? But truthfully, they're great but not allll that great.
My assistant, Jane, is CCed on this email. Hopefully she can work something out. She is a total miracle worker and makes a great tuna casarole.

I'm so flattered about the tuna casarole comment. Thank you all. Maureen, I'm looking at your calendar right now and it seems like you are booked up with meetings and a luncheon until February 17th. But you're looking open then. I have CCed Mr. John's assistant on this email, Amy Barrow. She will check the calendar to see if all involved parties can make this meeting about meetings.
Please call me with any questions. Especially trivia questions about New Zealand. I used to live there.
Best.

So Feb 17th it is! I have CCed corporate catering and conference room reservations on this email so we could have some food while we're meeting to discuss the recent surge in meetings. I can't tell you how essential this is and how nice it would be if catering gave us some of those chocolate chip peanut butter cookies. Hint, hint.

Unfortunately, Phil has spoken too soon and he will be in a meeting on Feb 17th all day for the review of all projected reviews for projections in '04. Let's work on something in March.
