22"Paul, you can't turn in your reports on four-by-six notecards" Jill told him after he handed her his reports, typed carefully on twelve four-by-six notecards.
23He had spent the weekend
24
251. going to the Office Supply Store to buy notecards and typewriter ribbon (he
26 found it surprisingly easily) after his first payday
272. replacing the ribbon in his typewriter (this took approximately half an
28 hour, because he had to figure it all out on his own)
293. opening the package of notecards (this took approximately four seconds,
30 although he still had to figure out how to do it on his own. It was just
31 easier)
324. carefully typing the reports he'd handwritten on letter paper onto the
33 notecards (he made many mistakes and threw away many notecards, though
34 later he used them for kindling)
35
36so understandably he was upset.
37He told Jill all the work he'd gone to to type those notecard reports for her, for the company.
38[She shook her head.][]
39"Paul, you don't have to do all that work at home.
40Just type it up on the computers here, that's all you need to do.
41Thanks for the work though."
42He nodded as she threw the notecards into the trashcan and left his cubicle.
