Rick: “Hey Bob”1
Bob: “Hey Rick”2
Rick: “How’s it goin’?”3
Bob: “Good, you?”4
Rick: “Good, so what’d you think of that meeting today?”5
Bob: “I think she’s completely nuts.”6
Rick: “I know. Who cares that she’s beautiful and sort of scary, I just don’t get why in the world the boss made her manager.”7
Bob: “Oh, I know. And now she wants us to complete our reports all within a day along with doing the other stuff, like calling vendors and clients. She’s insane.”8
Rick: “One of these days someone’s gonna call her on the carpet. I mean, it wouldn’t take too much for her to get the boot, she is newer, doesn’t have that seniority thing goin’ for her yet.”9
Bob: “Yeah, but she is good. She did get all those reports filed and to the boss faster than we ever could.”10
Rick: ”You aren’t taking her side now, are you?”11
Bob: “No, I’m just saying.”12
Rick: “Look at her, on the phone and typing away as if it were no sweat.”13
Bob: “It’s not natural I tell you.”14
Rick: “I’m scared just watching her.”15
“It’s called multitasking boys. Don't throw a hissy fit.”16
Rick: “’Course Mary agrees with her.”17
Bob: “Yeah.”18
Rick: “By the way, Bob, what’s multitasking?”19
Bob: “I don’t know, now I’m more confused.”20
Rick: “Yeah, me too.”21

I was reading the instructions on the contest held by the judge, and I do have to say the contest that you entered with this story is great !
I understand why you wrote what was written in the Authors note...sp/errors I didn't see (im not saying that their isn't any), but a suggestion for this short story is maybe putting a Man 1 or man 2 next too the one who is speaking....I personally thought this was a very cute story, with a funny ending, I did however get stuck to who was talking (Bob or Rick) on certain parts of this story.
Take all that away, and this was just straight down great piece of work Mel !!
