It's Ok

Dunstable just called. He was in a meeting with Dr. Burrito and one of the company's HR guys. They had me on speakerphone.

I hate talking to the HR guys on speakerphone. You never know who else is listening in. But then I suppose you never really do, even without speakerphone. Have you heard of Echelon? They monitor everything using psychic spies. My friend Dave said they have a psychic watching you twenty-four hours a day. I had a bad few days before I realised that couldn't be true! They would need a psychic for every person! Half the population would need to have the gift! I'd say only one out of every eight people I've met is a psychic. So that's seven normal people per psychic. Those Echelon guys can only monitor you some of the time. It's basic math. So I don't worry about it so much anymore.

Ok. So here's the deal, I can go back to work in the plant (hah, they know they can't replace me so easily, I'm one of only three guys qualified to operate the Anodizing Growler) but I had to fake an apology to Dr. Burrito over the phone and now I have to talk to some other doctor from headquarters next week.

I wonder if this other doctor will know the trick with the balls?
