Bronco8881: You like football?
She closed the other window and gave him her full attention.
Sissy3211: I do.
Bronco8881: I've got tickets to a game if you're interested.
Sissy3211: Which game?
Bronco8881: Any one you want to see.
Maggie giggled.
Sissy3211: Ha, you don't really have tickets.
Bronco8881: True, but I know where to get them. So how was your day?
Sissy3211: Have I ever told you about Roxie the Robot?
Bronco8881: You may have mentioned her name.
Sissy3211: She just got the job Jim turned down, and she is thrilled beyond compare.
Bronco8881: I take it you are not.
Sissy3211: At least they didn't offer it to me.
Bronco8881: I am intrigued. What is Roxie the Robot like?
Sissy3211: She is all about sticking to the rules, no matter how ridiculous they are, which is why we call her a robot.
Bronco8881: I know the type.
Sissy3211: Today was her first day as our manager and she now sits in an office directly across the hall from me. Every time I say something, she leans forward to see what I'm doing. I feel like an animal in the zoo.
Bronco8881: What does she do?
Sissy3211: Nothing, but she makes me uncomfortable. I don't like being under someone's watchful eye that way.
Bronco8881: Can you say something to her?
Sissy3211: Like what?
Bronco8881: I don't know. Maybe ask her how her neck is. It must hurt from watching you all day.
Maggie giggled.
Sissy3211: Good one, I'll try that if I ever get brave enough.
Bronco8881: Can you move your desk so she can't see you?
Sissy3211: I wish I could. It's a cubical, one of those plastic ones with the desk built into the wall. She has a foul mouth too, which is something I find disgusting.
Bronco8881: So do I.
Sissy3211: Why don't we ever talk about your job?
Bronco8881: Because mine is boring compared to yours.
Sissy3211: Well, how about friends? You must have one or two friends.
Bronco8881: I have lots of friends.
Sissy3211: Lady friends?
Bronco8881: Some, but they only love me for my money.
Sissy3211: You have lots of money?
Bronco8881: Enough for a cruise to Alaska, and a football game in the city of your choice.
Sissy3211: What? No dinner first?
Bronco8881: Okay, I think I can scrape up enough for dinner too.
Sissy3211: Tell me about these ladies.
Austin drew in a deep breath and let it out. She wanted personal information finally, and it looked like she wanted to know if he was involved with anyone.
Bronco8881: Well, Carol is my favorite. She is always happy and fun to joke around with.
