[03:54.92]In my office everyone enjoys working with Mr Thompson
[04:02.31]but no one likes Mr White.
[04:06.52]Mr Thompson is always thoughtful and considerate.
[04:12.92]When he wants something done.he'll ask."
[04:18.19]Would you mind getting this information for me,please?"
[04:23.39]Mr White is just the opposite.
[04:28.67]He usually shouts across the room
[04:32.95]"Get me this memorandum,and hurry up."
[04:37.94]Mr White surprised us this morning,though.
[04:43.92]At first we thought he must be sick.
[04:48.73]He was kind and agreeable.
[04:53.43]"Miss Erickson,"he asked,
[04:57.82]"if it isn't too much trouble for you,
[05:01.92]could you please make these telephone calls for me?"

[05:17.41]"Miss Reed,would you be so kind as to open the window?
[05:23.11]It's quite warm in here."Then he said to me,
[05:30.11]"I'd appreciate it very much if you'd mail these letters for me."
[05:37.40]We couldn't imagine why he was behaving so strangely.
[05:44.71]Should we offer him some aspirins?
[05:49.60]Or had Mr White changed his personality?
[05:54.98]The situation was soon cleared up."Ladies," Mr Thompson said,
[06:04.88]"I've been told that the president of the company will be here soon.
[06:11.77]He's very interested in the welfare of his employees
[06:17.47]and will have some questions to ask you about your working conditions here."
