More admin

The administration section has been after me again. What are your hours? they wanted to know.

I’m not an employee, I said. I don’t have hours.

This time they sent a man. Everyone has hours, he said.

Not me, I told him. I have a certain job to do. That’s all.

But in what hours do you do that job? he asked in a rather pointed way. I can’t say that I like his attitude.

Whenever it pleases me.

So, what hours please you?

I remember Rosa saying that anger should be controlled, that it is the enemy of rational behaviour. So I managed to edit away what I was about to say and when I did speak it was in beautifully controlled voice, quite soft. Rosa would’ve been proud of me. In fact, when I told her about it later, she said, well done, Yudel. You see, you can control your anger if you try.

I do my work for the department between 00h00 and 24h00, I told him.

He filled it in on his card. He has no doubt since then entered it on his computer. So, as things stand, I now have a 24 hour workday – officially. Non-stop, I presume
