weekly exercise

Seen in a company's IT handbook: "If your telephone displays any type of error message which is not covered in this manual, please contact our service centre and 1  one of our technicians assist you in solving the issue."

Safety instructions: "In the event of fire, 2  your belongings where they are and go immediately to the nearest emergency exit."

An irate colleague might say: "I wish people would stop ringing me while I am finishing this report. I need to be 3  alone right now!"

Overheard in an office: "I will be back in the office at 2 pm. If you need me to do anything, 4  a note on my desk and I will take care of it."

You may hear this among squabbling colleagues: 'If you would just 5  me get a word in edgeways, I'd be able to explain everything.'

You notice that a colleague is absent from the office and ask: "Where's Jill today?"
"Oh, she won't be in. She's 6  several crowns fitted at the dentist's this morning."

The receptionist sees you struggling into the office with too many bags and offers: "7  me help you. You look like you're about to drop something!"
