Peggy! Ice! Oh, right. You're not the secretary anymore. Look, could you please just fill this wooden ice bucket? It even has nice handles so it'll be easy to carry.

Peggy, type a memo. Oh, right, again with the not being a secretary bit. Ok, I'll just use my iPad and this USB keyboard.

Better call Betts. This time of day, she's probably in the kitchen. Good thing I got her this nifty wall phone. The things they think of these days!
