Thursday morning at home.

Tina: Eat.

Bette: Wow, bossy this morning.

Tina: I just see how your day will be and I’m making sure you get the most important meal of the day.

They eat and talk about their days. Bette promises to check in with Tina once Mandy has some flight options. Bette leaves shortly after 8am, just after Angelica wakes. Tina gets the baby ready for school and there by 9am.

Meanwhile at the museum Bette’s staff is in a bit of tizzy as word of a mandatory staff meeting get around. Mandy is a great professional and acts like she knows nothing even though she’s pretty much figured out the big announcement. The meeting starts right at 9am and everyone is in attendance. Mandy picked up some Dunkin’ Donuts to soften the blow of a short notice early meeting.

Bette: Thank you all for being here this morning. It hasn’t been my practice to hold such important meetings on such short notice, but this information cannot wait. All of you know we’ve made a big push to appeal to children and families since I came on board last year and put my own schedule and plan in place for the museum. Last summer I discovered an artist of sorts I wanted to do a special exhibit with them here at the museum. I’ve been working on this artist since then and finally last night I got an agreement to move forward to see if we could work out an exhibit plan. This information needs to stay in this room for now as it isn’t a done deal. However, the artist is sending representatives to meet with us next week to tour the museum to see how they might want to set up an exhibit here. I have been asked to come to their studios in Florida for the next couple of days after their visit here. Based on what we both learn we’ll be able to come up with an exhibit plan and work that into our schedule for next year.

Mark(Construction): Why do you need me here today? It’ll be months before I have to build anything.

Bette: You are here because you are part of the leadership team for this museum. We all have our specific jobs, but as a team we are all responsible for the condition of our museum and experience of our guests.
