Amanda:  Jeff. Talk about preoccupied. He’s so involved in dating right now, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want work to get in the way of his romantic life.


Can you tell me why Amanda starts her dialogue with Jeff. Talk about preoccupied?

In the context of this dialog, Amanda has been listing different employees and talking about why they would not make a good boss. She begins this sentence with “Jeff” because she is about to list why he would not be a good boss, either.


Best,


Amy
