I sit in the office behind a compass. There are 8 people in the room. Just received for the editorial and verification of the boss's report, a 100 page Word document. Fragments of text that need to be checked are highlighted by the head yellow, blue, green. No one around me knows or is interested in what I am doing. I sit and work quietly.
Suddenly the boss’s door opens and the boss shouts me through the office.
Sasha, please remove my green allocations.
The door closes, a silent pause and a long painfully suppressed rust of colleagues
