What does the handwritten note "in ser (X) from P.T.O" on a document mean, and what is its likely context?

• "in ser" is an abbreviation for in service.
• The circled "X" is a common proofreading mark indicating delete or cancel.
• "P.T.O" in this context (likely a professional or HR document) stands for Paid Time Off.

The note means:

• In service, delete the reference to 'from Paid Time Off'.

This indicates an update to a status, where someone is now in service, and any previous mention of them being "from Paid Time Off" should be removed or disregarded. The black arrow points to "of house service", suggesting this instruction relates to the house service aspect of the document.
