Question

Michelle just got back from spending two weeks in her company’s Germany office. Her flight was delayed, so instead of going home and getting some rest, she went right into the office. At the morning status meeting, Michelle thought that everyone was sharing their weekend plans, instead of giving their division reports. Why did she feel that way?

Answer 1
