Talking shop to family

Mom:
So do you have all your employees?
Me:
Yeah, hiring is done. All the staff is in place.
Mom:
And how about the office? Any news there?
Me:
I just heard from L_ today. That property is in the works and it looks like it will be ready by June.
Mom:
Cool.
Me:
Yeah, all the big things are in place now, all that is left are the million little details. Touch base with the suppliers, get the employee paperwork ready and choke on another $800 for fire extinguishers.
MM:
Heh, listen to you.
Me:
Huh?
MM:
You sound like a business person. It's funny.
