Notes: This is set the same day as the last one, towards the end of the work day.
Ted closed the door to his office. He stared at the spreadsheet again, crossed his fingers, and entered the last figures. He clicked ‘submit’, then refreshed the report. His phone rang before it finished.
“Ted Schmidt.”
“Teddy?”
“Oh, hi, Em.”
“Sweetie, you sound stressed.”
“I’m working on the final quarter figures.”
“Oh. That sounds like fun.”
“Oh, yeah. You wanna come over and tell Brian that revenue is down 30 percent?”
“Well, I’ll leave you to it, bye!”
“Wait! Holy shit…”
“What?”
“It’s up. Thirty percent.”
“That’s good, right?”
“Fifty million dollars worth of good.”
“Joy to the world!”
“Yeah.”
