The Pent Umbrage of the Tempy, Part XXXVI

You had forsaken the mailroom. You had forsaken THE FIRM.

You had never expected a lot of money from the job. Your only ambition was to get by.

You had never expected a great deal of entertainment from the job. Your only ambition was to get by.

You had never expected a great deal of fulfillment from the job. Your only ambition was to get by.

The mailroom never had forsaken you. It had been steadfast by you. As far as you could tell (and you were diligent) the mailroom had never slept around.

You only wanted to get by. THE FIRM had let you get by. THE FIRM had encouraged you to get by.

You got by. Then you went away.
