I was so glad it was
Friday afternoon. I've been thinking--TGIF--all day. I was on my way
out of the office when I saw Nick sitting at his desk. Even though the
office was nearly empty, he didn't look like he was ready to leave. In fact, he
looked like he was still swamped with work.
Linda: Hi, Nick. You're
here late.
Nick: Yeah, it looks like
this may be an all-nighter. I just got a project dumped in my lap.
Linda: You're kidding!
On Friday afternoon? What happened?
Nick: Well, the person who
was put in charge of this project went on maternity leave this
week and the person who was supposed to take it over just resigned.
Linda: I can't believe
that. When is the deadline? I hope you're getting some extra help.
Nick: The project is due first
thing Monday morning. And, with the lay-offs recently, I think I'm
on my own on this one.
Linda: Why don't you
bring me up to speed? Maybe I can help.
Nick: No, it's Friday. You
look like you're about to head home. I can't ask you to do that.
Linda: I don't have any
big plans for tonight. So, I'll tell you what. I'm having some trouble
finishing the budget on my proposal and I know you're a whiz at
numbers. Why don't I stay and help you with your project for the next few hours
and you can give me a hand with my budget next week.
Nick: That's really nice
of you. It would be a big relief. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed
and I know you've done a project like this before. Okay, you've got a deal!
Linda: Good! Now, let's
see what we've got.
