Alice sits at her desk. The Boss enters and says, "According to this
phone bill, you've been making personal calls." The Boss continues,
"That's like stealing from the company, Alice." Alice clenches her
teeth, holds her fist and thinks, "Must . . . Control . . . Fist . . .
Of . . . Death . . ." Alice looks at the telephone bill and says, "I
only spent eighty cents to tell my family I was working late." Alice
says, "Here's a dollar. The extra twenty cents is for the personal
thought that I'm about to have on company time." Alice closes her
eyes and imagines the Boss tied up with rope. She pictures handing
him a stick of dynamite. Alice says, "And here's my bill for $40,000
in unpaid overtime that the company stole from me." The Boss
replies, "That's not stealing; that's being competitive." Alice says,
"I think I'll be competitive with a few bushels of office supplies
later today."
