+"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.
+He had spent the weekend
+
+1. going to the Office Supply Store to buy notecards and typewriter ribbon (he
+   found it surprisingly easily) after his first payday
+2. replacing the ribbon in his typewriter (this took approximately half an
+   hour, because he had to figure it all out on his own)
+3. opening the package of notecards (this took approximately four seconds,
+   although he still had to figure out how to do it on his own.  It was just
+   easier)
+4. carefully typing the reports he'd handwritten on letter paper onto the
+   notecards (he made many mistakes and threw away many notecards, though
+   later he used them for kindling)
+
+so understandably he was upset.
+He told Jill all the work he'd gone to to type those notecard reports for her, for the company.
+[She shook her head.][]
+"Paul, you don't have to do all that work at home.
+Just type it up on the computers here, that's all you need to do.
+Thanks for the work though."
+He nodded as she threw the notecards into the trashcan and left his cubicle.
