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.
