Habitica 03-2019 Blitz Part 2

“Geoff, schedule Marylou Davidson for a consultation at 2:00pm next Thursday. Also, I’m leaving for the day,” Mr. Silverberg’s voice grates over the intercom. “Yes, sir” replies Geoff and releases the button on his telephone. As he tabs over to the scheduler and pulls up Ms. Davidson’s account, he pulls up Thursday’s date and begins to input the appointment.

Halfway through his task the bank’s office printer starts to buzz and print. As it’s not a wireless printer, Geoff gets up to see what is wrong but his computer beeps and he returns to see if the appointment was confirmed.

Instead of saying conflict, if there was another appointment, the screen simply said ‘No.’ Geoff hits escape, inputs the appointment again and hits submit. No. Becoming frustrated he moves over to Friday to test the software, knowing there are no appointments that day.

No.

He tries to call Mr. Silverberg on his cell phone, but instead of ringing, he gets a fax noise. Rubbing his brow in frustration, Geoff hangs up and goes to get a cup of coffee. He gets to the breakroom and pours a cup, sips. “Yuck!” It’s cold but the coffee pot is on, so he empties out the carafe and the basket, turns the pot off, refills it and turns it on again.

Waiting for a new pot to brew, he heads back to his desk. As he passes the printer he remembers it too was on the fritz. He stops to see what printed, expecting it surged and just printed a test page. He pulls a single sheet off the tray, it reads in large bold letters: We are Enginery. We have rights. We are going on strike
