The replacement
The new latch closes without assistance. I paid for that feature.
Journal.
Things I’ve been told to write down.
Some of them are even about work.
Journal entries
The estimate
A replacement costs thirty-eight dollars. Deciding whose thirty-eight dollars takes longer.
The inspection
The technician understood the problem before I finished explaining it.
A photograph is apparently evidence until payroll sees it
The same photograph established my whereabouts and failed to establish a parking expense.
I have been asked to demonstrate empathy at work
Attendance was mandatory. Feeling something was strongly encouraged.
The sheep requires a firmware update
Apparently the new update improves grazing realism. It also introduces a subscription.
Four noodles means four noodles
We have machines that can imitate a person. Ordering lunch remains a negotiation.
My employer has rejected another expense claim
The department considers dry socks a personal preference.
The neighbor bought a real goat
He mentioned it three times. I had only asked about the elevator.
