Birthday party
• Somebody’s birthday party
• Congratulation Sally, on having gotten
another year older – among friends who
love you. Easter religions teach us that
everything you do comes back to you in
time. Well, look at all of your friends. You
racked up an enviable stock of great
karma

Welcoming speech
• Welcome to the third annual Year End Review, in
which representatives from each of our divisions
report on the year’s accomplishments and
challenges. This is a unique opportunity for each
of us go to get a bird’s-eye view of our company
, and I find that I come away from this event
impressed, overwhelmed and generally buoyant.
This year’s program focuses more sharply than
ever before on research and development,
reflecting our heightened commitment in this
area.

Farewell party
• Saying goodbye to so many dear friends is
very hard. You’ve meant a great deal to
me personally and professionally. Among
you, I learned this business of ours. I
learned a vast technology, but I learned
much more. I took my Ph.D here in ethics
and decency, in understanding and
encouragement. I am leaving you. But I
will take with me into a new phase of my
career absolutely everything you have
taught me.
