"Our efforts to reduce the cost of office space have been largely successful." "Construction of the new headquarters is considerably behind schedule." "I'd say this was a productive meeting. Now does anyone know how to get down?" "Resolved: that the name of our company be changed to Helium Innovations, Inc." |
