Aida: When our bigwigs from the
Cleveland office arrive next week, I think we’ll
have a lot to show them.
Dale: I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Giselle
told me yesterday that it’s a toss up
whether she’ll finish the
program she’s
working on by next week, but don’t quote
me on that.
Aida: I thought she was already done with it.
Dale: I think that she’s still tinkering
with it because she isn’t 100 percent
sure she’s worked
out all of
the bugs.
Aida: All right. I hope she gets a move on
and fast. I’ll still have Joe’s
prototype to show them, right?
Dale: Well, the last time I spoke with Joe, he
said that the prototype is still a work in
progress. Whether it’ll
actually work is
iffy, at best.
Aida: Are you trying to tell me that we’re not
ready for this visit at all?
Dale: I hate to be the bearer of bad
news, but I wouldn’t count on
having much to show them, sorry.
Aida: Then, what am I supposed to do when
they want to see the progress on our work?
Dale: I suggest some fast-talking
and fancy tap dancing!
