Hypothetical – Part II Ø Sam received some wonderful presents: an expensive bottle of French champagne from Betty’s boss; some official Audubon Society binoculars from his staff, which had taken up a collection; and a beautiful Pendleton blanket from the Council. Ø The next morning at work, Sam got on the computer to e-mail a thank you notes. So many people attended that it took him nearly an hour to get the notes out. It was a good thing that he came in early, he thought to himself. He spent the rest of the morning reviewing a stack of pending appeals. He noted that one was filed by distant cousin. Sam had never met the fellow, but couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for him. Unfortunately, he had waited too long to file his appeal, so Sam prepared the letter informing him the appeal was denied on the basis of timeliness. Sam signed and mailed the letter just before going to lunch.
Hypothetical – Part III Ø Sam had lunch with Connie, the Director of Licensing and Compliance. Sam and Connie had a good working relationship and he had grown to respect her judgment. Sam liked to joke around with Connie, especially since she had such a good sense of humor. “Hey,” he said, “I just spent my morning going over all the trouble you’ve made; is there anyone who isn’t appealing one of your decisions?” “No,” said Connie, “I think every one of them is sitting on your desk right now, and I’m counting on you to do the right thing.” “I always do the right thing,” Sam replied. “By the way,” Connie added, “Super Tech just dropped off the brand new Super Duper Bingo or Bust game this morning and will be demonstrating it after lunch; want to drop in?” “Sure,” he said, “let’s go.” Ø When they arrived, the Super Tech reps hurried over to shake hands. “You’re going to love this game,” they said, “it’s the best.” He added, “in fact, we’d really be happy if you all would be our guest at headquarters and let us show you the whole process, we could fly you down in the corporate plane, and have you home by dinner time.”
