When I arrive at the office, I always check my email. I get a lot of messages from our overseas offices. Then I usually have a meeting with my team from 11 to 12 o’clock.

I have lunch in the office cafeteria at 12. The food isn’t very good, but it’s cheap. After lunch I sometimes meet clients, or write reports.
