Originally Posted by Albert Kettleburn  The wheels were turning in Victoria's head, and Albert approved of whatever direction her thoughts were taking her. As long as she heeded his tastes and it was different, Albert was interested in see what she found. "Plants are fine, although I'll need assistance remembering to water them," he responded to her question. Hopefully nothing man-eating, if she could help it.
Moving on to his second request... Albert was keen to keep the children out of the daycare center. Not only because Celandine was letting them visit the Ministry specifically to see Albert, not the inside of another room, but because they would be visiting so infrequently.
"If they're here while I'm here, I'm sure I'll be keeping an eye on them. I'm just thinking about in case of emergency meetings, I'll want someone in the office who can step in. They're 1, 4, and 6, by the by, although I imagine the 6-year-old is the one most likely to visit." Charlotte was much more gregarious than Callum.
Good, he didn't mind plants. As for the watering, she'd take care of that or one of the maintenance employees. The plants would be taken care of for sure. With guest coming to visit, it wouldn't be a good sign having unattended plants. Little details mattered for reputation reasons.
She nodded understanding that watching the kids wasn't a frequent matter. "That can be easily arranged then." She said. "Anyone from the secretaries including me can keep an eye on them whenever needed," Since there was quite a good number of them out in the lobby. Someone from the cubicles could do that as well.
Victoria still made a mental note to make certain that the others were okay with that. Else, she ask others for this task. In case she was busy or not around.
"Anything else you need me for, sir?" She asked.

"I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. McMillan. I'm sure we'll have an excellent working relationship." Zach smiled back and went to straight to the chair where he was ushered to. He sat down and looked attentively to the Minister. He smiled at the comment of the Minister about their working relationship. "It would be my pleasure to serve you, Minister." he said.
The new Minister looks very intimidating, but he sure is a nice fellow. Zach just hoped that it would never be the same as the regime of Borr.

Arranging things was fine, although Albert would need a full introduction and references and background information before he was willing to leave his precious grandchildren with just anyone. Not to mention that Charlotte was chatty and Callum found things mysteriously and Chloe... well, Chloe drooled a bit. He found it charming, but it might drive someone else fully batty.
"I appreciate that, Ms Smith. Now then... if I think of anything else, I'll come find you. You're dismissed, unless you have something for me?" Quote:

Had an impudent air, which wasn't always a bad thing if it proved amusing. Albert did some mental cataloging of the young man seated before him. His fingers were steepled as he looked the man over, and finally Albert spoke again.
"I'm pleased to hear it. Why don't you tell me a bit about what you did for the last chap?"

Zach had a creepy feeling that he was being scrutinized, but nevertheless he put on his game face and smiled.
He was then on full attention when he was asked to enumerate the things that he did for Greingoth. Well, where to begin... "I started as a Ministry Advisor during the Borr administration and at the early days of the Greingoth regime." he said clearing his throat before proceeding. "And then I was sent for a research trip, coordinating with my former job at the South African Research facility and the Australian Research Institute regarding a couple of magical species and some plants and its implications and their use for potions." he said recalling the days of the research which brings him to the good old days. He is still well respected in both facilities having serves as Head of the Research Department on both of them. "And then I got back from that trip and was offered the position of Junior Undersecretary which I gladly accepted." he said which pride and humility.

"I appreciate that, Ms Smith. Now then... if I think of anything else, I'll come find you. You're dismissed, unless you have something for me?" She was satisfied with the information she collected about her two tasks. She figured they'd be enough for her to start working on them. Victoria was organized, she always collected what she wanted to know at once. She knew better than to keep coming every now and then to ask about something that had slipped her mind. You learn that after working for seven years in the ministry.
"It's my pleasure to help," She told the minister as she rose to her feet. Did she need anything else? Hmm.. "I don't believe so," With that she walked over to the door, nodded at Kettleburn and Rockefeller, "I'll be at my desk." then left the room closing the door behind her.

That was all very well and good, but it was mostly an employment history and didn't really describe what the man did in his job role. Surely he wasn't running all over the world looking for plants in the woods? That would mean he was a magibotonist and belonged down on Level 4, right?
"And once you were offered that job? What did you do for Mr. Greingoth while you were actually serving as Junior Undersecretary? And perhaps we shouldn't refer to that man's term of office as a 'regime'. It suggests... he was a dictator of the worst kind." Quote:

Albert nodded at the woman as she rose to her feet, effectively dismissing her. "Please let me know when you have samples for the office. You're dismissed."

This man surely is a man who wants everything straight to the point. "I helped facilitate the environmental campaign for Diagon Alley." he said pausing for a little while and then adding, "And also was the head of the Electoral Commission during the election of the Board of Governors."
These things helped him learn a lot of things for the job.

It's been a week since she'd been given that task. And it's been a week since she had started working on it in between her regular tasks as a secretary. She'd done research and asked around gathering as many samples and opinions she could get. You never get too much opinions.
And now that she got through Warfield's office she stood by the miniter's office her arms kind of stiff having been clutching the pile of catalogs tightly for a bit. After knocking, she moved the pile to her other arm. upon waiting for a bit, she reached over and turned the knob then cracked open the door. Was she interrupting, was the minister under his desk, too? Hmm..
The secretary cleared her throat, and kept her hand on the knob waiting to be admitted in.
