It was the second day of the office...
Hi
I read this sentence in a news report. Does it work naturally for native speakers? Any suggestions?
(Written by a Pakistan news reporter)
It was the second day of the office but the staff did not seem in the right mode of ideal working speed.
I understand that he wants to say that (after the break) two days had passed since the office reopened but everyone looked lazy and slow.
Thanks,
Tom
