The Closer

"Hey, Tracey," my former principal said smoothly as she and her sister, the president of the league, approached me at bowling this morning. "You've always had an exceptional attention to detail."

I smiled at this unexpected compliment from a past supervisor.

"That's why we think you would be a great addition to the audit committee!" she continued, smiling broadly.

My eyes widened, and the three of us burst out laughing at this brazen recruitment ploy.

"I have seen this opportunity in the weekly e-mails," I conceded. "I just didn't know if someone with more experience would be a better fit."

"Oh no," she assured me. "You would be great."

"Then I accept!" I agreed.

"The president will fill you in on the details," she told me and walked back to her lane.

"She's still got that management flair," I said to the president, shaking my head.

"She always has," her sister agreed.
