From there, our evening progressed as our dinners normally do, catching up on Austin’s most recent dating escapades, work, and whatever sport happened to be in season. The conversation never turned back to Blaire officially, and I’d deny it if I was ever asked, but I did find myself spending the rest of the evening trying to convince myself I didn’t need to go back to my office to grab my Blaire file to go over once more before bed.

Subject: Holiday Festival Schedule Draft
Dear Mr. Thomas,
As requested, here is a draft of the holiday festival schedule for you to review. I’ve included attachments outlining budgets for each of the events, appearances, and performances. I organized the schedule in several ways; one version by date and time, one version by location, and one version by target demographics.
Also attached is a marketing plan and timeline, which you’ll note starts with the announcement of the dates of the festival on April 1st, so I hope we can move quickly on approval. If you have any questions or would like to meet in person to go over anything here, please let me know. My schedule is flexible right now!
Best wishes,
Blaire Greene

Dear Ms. Greene,
Now that my retinas have recovered from all the colors you used on your various spreadsheets, I can see that your budget exceeds the amount allotted to you in the agreement by $10,000. Please adjust your schedule and budget accordingly to bring it under budget.
Warmest regards,
Cole Thomas

Dear Mr. Thomas,
I apologize for injecting a bit of color and brightness into your life with my charts and schedules. I will be sure to adequately warn you next time that some of us work in more than just black and red inked spreadsheets all day.
I do hope that you were able to note that while the budget was $10,000 over what was allotted to Holly Ridge in the agreement, that I was planning to bring in $20,000 more in sponsorships than the original budgets estimated, giving the budget cushion for unexpected overages and drops in anticipated sponsor dollars. Certainly, given that kind of projection, the budget can move forward as anticipated and attached?
Best wishes,
Blaire Greene
