21 | "Hello Paul this is Jill Jill Noe remember me" the voice on the phone was a | ||
22 | woman's. He nodded into the receiver. "Hello" Jill asked again "hello?" | ||
23 | Paul remembered that phones work by talking and said "Hello Jill." | ||
24 | |||
25 | "Do you remember me" she asked "we were in school together? How have you | ||
26 | been?" "Pretty well" said Paul "I've been writing and making furniture." "Oh | ||
27 | that's nice" said the woman's voice tinny in the phone "Listen I ran into your | ||
28 | mother at the Supermarket the other day and she said you need a job. You | ||
29 | still need one?" Paul had to tell the truth. His mother was watching him out | ||
30 | of the corner of her eye as she was playing dominoes at the kitchen table. | ||
31 | "Yes" he said sighing "Although woodworking takes up much of my time." | ||
32 | |||
33 | "OK" she laughed uncomortably "I actually have something you could do for me | ||
34 | if you think you can get away from woodworking a bit. It's just data entry | ||
35 | really basic stuff entry-level." "What's it pay" he asked. "Minimum but | ||
36 | there is room for movement." "OK" he said. "Start on Monday okay?" "Sure" | ||
37 | he said "bye" and the tin voice in the phone said "Goodbye Paul see you" by | ||
38 | the time he put it back on the hook. | ||
39 | |||
40 | "Who was that" asked his mother. "Jill Noe" he said. "Oh her was she calling | ||
41 | about a job for you?" "Yes starts Monday" he said. She smiled behind her | ||
42 | glasses reflecting dominoes. | ||
