No boxes in the printing room. All conference rooms open.

Manager asking me to try to finish some work this week itself. Dunno if that is just a coincidence. Look out for signs like these. Is your manager trying to get to know "where you are currently with your work items"? Those might be the giveaways.

Hearing that it is nearing and may happen starting of Oct.

Appears that today is the day for the next round.
