英文正文

Good morning, Miss Morrison. I hope you didn't have too much trouble with rush hour traffic. Why don't I show you around first?

Here's your desk. My office is behind you and to the left. Your computer terminal is linked to the department's mainframe. By typing in the password "0716", you can have access to any file you'd like to see or compile.

If you aren't aware, we offer a one-day new employee workshop. My associate, Michelle Lo, is in charge of in-service training, so she'll be explaining Action's employee benefits and the day-to-day operations of this department.

I hope all of this isn't too overwhelming. We're a friendly bunch around here, so don't hesitate to ask questions.
