A week later, on Friday afternoon, Sandy came storming into Seanna's office.A week later, on Friday afternoon, Sandy came storming into Seanna's office. 'About the Blau proposal...,' she began. 'Yes, what about it?' 'Well, I think the figures are wrong.' 'Damn. Blau needs it Monday morning. Show me.' 'Well, here look. This. And this.' Sandy flipped pages and pointed to neatly marked sections. 'And here.' 'You're right.' Seanna buzzed for Erika. Erika walked in, 'Problem?' 'Have a seat, Erika. No, on second though, fire up the computer, we're going to have to fix this. Sandy found a problem in the proposal for the Blau job. It may take some time. Can you both work tonight?' Sandy nodded, and Erika said she had to make a call to cancel something. Time passed quickly for the three workers. Erika worked the computer, which she did with a skill that surprised people who knew how little training she had. Sandy was a genius at the facts and figures, and Seanna made quick, accurate decisions, changing a word here, a sentence there. They made a good team, but by the time things were put in order, and the new pages printed out, it was well into the night. 'Listen,' Seanna began, 'we've done a big job, and a good one. I owe you both thanks. Why not come up to my place, and we'll celebrate having found and fixed this. If we hadn't, we would have lost us a bundle on the Blau job.' Sandy thought exactly a quarter of a second, and said, 'Great. Thanks. I'm too keyed up to go home, anyhow.' Erika didn't even have to think. She had cancelled her date for that evening, and was very curious about how 'the boss' lived. Besides, she liked both the women. 'Thanks, Seanna. You're on.' 'Terrific. Lets go.' They packed up the proposal, stuffed it in a large envelope, turned out the lights and left. 'Oh, Erika?' the red-head began, 'I don't know if the mail will get the proposal to Blau's in time. |
