Cora: What’s up with Rob? He hasn’t been
himself lately.
Doug: You’ve noticed, too, huh?
Cora: Yeah, he’s been missing work and letting
things slip through the cracks. I’ve
been cutting him some slack and
filling in for him, but things haven’t
improved.
Doug: I know what you mean. I’d never known
Rob to drop the ball on anything until
recently. I heard a rumor that he’s having
financial problems.
Cora: No, not Rob! He has more
clients than anyone around here.
Doug: Well, he’s been off his game
for a while now, so some of those accounts
might have gone up in smoke.
Cora: Are you going to have a talk with him?
Maybe you could help.
Doug: Me? Why me?
Cora: I thought you two were pretty
tight.
Doug: We’re friendly at work, but we’re not
really friends. The last thing I want to do is
to snoop around in his business.
Cora: But maybe he’s just waiting for a
shoulder to cry on. You might be just the
person to get him to bare his soul.
Doug: Spoken just like a woman! You all think
we men are waiting to bare our souls and to let
our emotions out. Just leave Rob
alone to solve his own problems.
Cora: Spoken just like a
cold-hearted man!
