Like I told you before, we just don't have the resources to hire you an assistant.
I understand that, but the fact is we're under staffed.
The timing is just not right. The economy's bad and it's too risky to take on new staff.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Here's an idea. What if we hire an intern?
She would take some of the weight off my shoulders.
She?
Yeah, you know. A recent graduate. She could give me a hand with some of these projects and we could keep our costs down.
That sounds reasonable. Let me see what I can do.
Tony, I'd like to introduce you to your new assistant.
Okay, great. Let's meet her.
Hi, I'm Adam.
Oh, hi, I'm Tony.
