¨             A: “Hey Mark, I’m assigning you on the Tully project. You’ll have to go to California in two weeks.”
B: “What is my objective over there?”
A: “You have to review financial documents over there. If you find something missing, work with their accountants to get the documents you need to complete the analysis.”
B: “How large is this project?”
A: “It’s pretty big, so take someone with you. I think you can finish in a week if two of you are working on it.”
B: “Do we have to arrive there at a certain time?”
A: “Not really, but you should get there before lunch to settle in. Then you can get in half a day.”
B: “Who should I contact when I get there?”
