Clarifying some tasks
A: I’m not sure what you expect me to do, Michelle. You’ve not been very clear about any of this.
B: I’m sorry, Clint. Maybe I didn’t make myself clear enough. We should get together to discuss this.
A: Yeah. I think that would be a good idea. I’m really in the dark on everything.
B: Fine. Let’s meet this afternoon. I’ll draw you a better picture of the situation.
