Barbara is explaining the office layout to Katharine.

Katharine: I see.
Barbara: Here’s the kitchen, just down the hall from your cubicle. Across from the kitchen is the mail room. That’s where the fax, scanners, and postage meter are. If you need to send a letter, post it and put it into one of these cubby holes in the middle of the room. There are separate places for local, domestic, and international mail.
Katharine: Got it.
Barbara: The bathrooms are at the very end of this corridor. The door after the bathroom is the emergency exit, which goes to a stairway. Be careful, because that door locks automatically. If you get locked out, you have to walk down to the fi rst fl oor and take the elevator back up.
Katharine: Good to know!
Barbara: The fifth fl oor of this building is ours, too; that’s where the executives are. We share this fl oor with a consulting fi rm. The second and third floors are a small publishing company, and the fi rst floor is all building maintenance. And, back to your cubicle. Your computer is hooked up to a printer that is just around that corner. Have you seen it?
Katharine: Yes, I’m pretty comfortable with this area by now. Thanks for the tour!
