Do feel free to come
or phone for help. It IS acceptable to ask to have work checked before the day
it is due. I will check it and return it so it can be corrected.
I answer the phone every day I come to work, and sometimes more
often. But I am not normally at the phone or computer. So add in time for me to
get back to you.
