As Long As One Can Think

Thanks, I’ll be sure to drop in after I finish copying and filing a few tests. Hopefully your guests will have arrived by then.

Alright then and I'm sure they will, i already had one tell me she was on her way

That’s wonderful, I’m sure she’ll love it here. I… I did? That’s fantastic, I was so worried about it. Thank you so much for telling me sir!

I hope she does......yes you did, you did a great job. It's not a problem Miss Serena

Bed it is, lucky for you I’m pretty good at putting furniture together, I’ve moved that many times, and the ability does help with balancing. I take it she is no longer at this orphanage? You have a retort? Her’s I could probably handle but I wasn’t aware you had one. Yes, a chance for it to be turned off for a few months is good for the mind.

How many times have you had to move? No she is no longer there. I have adopted her after some problems with my brother. Yes, sometimes I have a retort, it does happen

Okay tea will wait. No of course not I’d love to. Just tell me where you need me and I’ll get it done, Amanda seems to be enjoying herself, no doubt she has a natural flair for decorating which I shall tease out of her…sorry teaching mode needs to be off.

Alright, we're going to get the pieces of her bed in first and put it together and then get the rest of her furniture in and go from there. Oh she is, she doesn't get to do many projects like this outside the orphanage that she was at. Oh she does and I'll tease her about it sometimes, but she's like me and her father and has a retort so just a warning, she is very nice otherwise. That's okay, at least that's what's good about summer vacation, a chance to turn teacher mode off.

Oh, well it looks very nice so far, I’m sure she’ll love it. The color scheme is pretty. I just wanted to know if you graded the finals and if you knew what I got as my final grade.

Thank you, between my niece and I, I think we've done a pretty good job so far.....oh yes, the finals I finished grading them last night so let's see.........ah yes Miss White you got an A on your final, good job.

Sure thing, I’ll inform them of that right away if I see anyone.

Ok, thank you and if you get bored or if you just want to come sit down you're welcome to come in.

Whose arrival are you waiting for? I might see them and be able to tell them that you’re expecting them.

Oh just a couple of the teachers and students that said they might be able to come over. I'm not exactly sure if they would, but that would be most appreciated if you would if you see any of them. I plan to order food soon enough in case anyone gets hungry.

Oh my! What color is that that you chose? It’s quite lovely. I have a bit of time to spare now with my little munchkin gone off to her grandparents. I could definitely lend a hand if you’d like!

It's a light lavender color. She said she wanted a calm color for her room and she liked this more then the bluish green we were originally going to go with. Oh thank you......That would be most appreciated. We're doing the last of it and moving furniture and decorating mostly.....You said you have a little one, how old is the child?

Ooo sounds like someone’s been busy this weekend, need a hand with anything, or maybe someone to just make you a brew?

Yes, it's been quite busy, but the brew can wait till after. If you don't mind helping me and my niece Amanda here, we just need to get furniture in and finish decorating it mainly, if you could it would be most appreciated.

Excuse me Mr. Baker, I was wondering if I could discuss something with you. The secretary said you’d be here and… Oh I’m sorry, am I interrupting something?

Miss White, it's quite alright, we're getting the rest of my niece's room done before she moves in, but please if you need to discuss something with me by all means please. What is it that you need to discuss?

What are we redecorating? 

My niece's room Amanda here. It's what's left to do before she moves in.

I hardly sit behind my own. Oh, it’s got it’s faults, most definitely. I imagine he won’t be pleased at all when he realizes that he’s going to be pushed into everything for amusement, but he’s adaptable. He’ll survive.

Oh I'm sure, but everyone has their own ways of entertainment and have to find it somewhere. How long do you plan on being out there?

There’s always business to be done. I have to make up for the months that I’ve missed while being here. Of course, there will be a level of enjoying myself as well. I’m thrusting a friend into my world, so to speak. In a show of sink or swim.

Well it beats being behind a desk for five days a week out of the whole time we're here.  Well that is a good way to go about it when introducing someone to something new.

Plans are set and finalised.

That's right, you said you would be leaving to do some business on your trip, am I correct?

That is very true, and then my nerd cred can go up all the more.

Exactly......I'm not much of a nerd, that I leave for my niece Amanda, although she's working on changing that with all the movies she's been having me watch lately.
