answer: #Person1# calls #Person2# to postpone the meeting for two weeks because #Person1# has to attend a symposium. #Person2# is OK with that.
documents: #Person1#: I'm so sorry to call you on such short notice, but something's come up.
  #Person2#: You mean for this afternoon's meeting?
  #Person1#: That's right I'm afraid I have to postpone it. Mr. Scott got sick and I have to attend the Speechmaker's Symposium in his place. I'm leaving today, and I won't be back until a week from Friday.
  #Person2#: That's quite a while. Let's make it the week after you get back, then.
  #Person1#: That will be great. So it's two weeks from tomorrow, same time and place. I'm really sorry to do this to you.
  #Person2#: No problem at all. To tell you the truth, I could use the extra time in my schedule to catch up on some paperwork.
