----------------------------------------
Katrina popped two more asprins in her mouth and took a sip of water. Her leg
was stinging.
Holly's head appeared nearby. "Katrina, good news," the head said cheeerily.
"You're still out of work, right?"
"Yup," Katrina answered wanly.
"You could use some help, right?"
"Yup."
"Then consider this your lucky day!" Holly announced. "Amber Cleavage and
Dean Thomas have been giving manditory volunteerism. They've been assigned to
help you clean. Yay!"
"You're uncharacteristically happy today, Hol," she told the head. "But good,
the help is much appreciated. What'd they do to get 'manditory volunteerism'?"
"Don't remember," Holly admitted. "Oh yeah, White Wolf wants to see you soon
to discuss your annual job performance review."
"Okay. First, tell Amber and Dean to come to my quarters immediately. I've
already got a job for them I can't do. Then, tell White Wolf that I'm ready
to see him whenever he's ready to see me. Can you remember that?"
"Sure. No prob, Bob."
"Repeat back to me those instructions. I want to make sure you've got it,
Hol," Katrina demanded.
"Tell Dean and Amber to come to your quarters immediately and White Wolf
you're ready to see him when he's ready to see you," Holly repeated.
"All right, good job, Hol."
"Thank you, Katie."
"It's Katrina!" she shouted at the screen, but Holly was already gone.
