W:Stan, do you have a minute?
M:Oh, hi, Cathy, sure. What's up?
W:[19]I've been meaning to talk to you about thesituation in the office.
M:I'm not in that very often. It's so noisy that I can'twork.
W:That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation andmarking in that office. But have you noticed?[20]Jack constantly has students coming in toget help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.
M:Has anyone spoken to him about it?
W:No, not yet. But someone's going to have to.
M:We really can't ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we?
W:No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's thesame for the others in the office.
M:Hum... [21]could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When TAs have to talk with thestudents, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office.You know, there's a roomdown the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. It's only for storing supplies.
W:You mean that little storage room? Oh, that would be too small.
M:Are you sure? With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.
W:[22]Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I'd like to take a look at that room. Can we go there now?
M:Sure, let's go.
