John, do you have a minute?
Oh, hi, Leo. Sure, what's up?
Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
But I'm not in there very often. It's so noisy that I can't work.
That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office, but have you noticed? Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot people are going in and out.
Has anybody spoken to him about it?
No, not yet, but someone's going to have to.
We really can't ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we?
No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you.
How about recommending him to use the storage room down the hall?
Oh, that would be too small.
With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.
Come to think of it, you may be on to something. Let's go have a look.
Let's rock n'roll.
