The Day Before the Holiday

Everyone at the office is getting ready for the holiday. It is Friday, and everyone will be off for the whole week, next week. Judy’s assistant, Michael, is helping her make the final arrangements for a presentation she needs to make the day she gets back from the holiday. She needs to have everything ready, so she can relax and enjoy her holiday next week. Everyone else at the office is also making some final arrangements for their own projects, so they are all busy. But it is okay. They will have the whole week to rest next week!
