ACCOUNTability

I got my overhead back. Astonishingly, it’s the same one. I know this because it has the same graffiti on it—“Flagship.” A couple of years ago a kid had marked “Fag” on it, and with some whiteout I altered the tagging to something more acceptable.

I mention this because our department meeting included the term, “overhead bulb account.” Borrish kept reminding us to be aware of our “bulb accounts.”

“Don’t exceed your bulb accounts.”

“If I were you, I’d keep tight records on your bulb accounts.”

What account? When did I sign-up for an account? When did this become the First Bank of Office Supplies? I don’t remember getting a toaster for it.
