Enjoy your day off and don't forget to study !
I'm phoning about the factory visit next Friday . What should I do when I arrive ?
Park in the visitors ' car park in front of the factory and then go to the gatehouse . It's directly opposite the entrance to the car park . The Security people will sign you in and give you a visitor's badge . My assistant will come down to meet you .

Are you an outgoing person , or more reserved ?

Not to put off till tomorrow what you can do today . I've found out that time and money get away very easily β€” you think you have them , and they're gone ! Putting things off just makes it worse later , so even if it's hard at the time , I try to get things done that day and not let them go .
