the damned


by nick nelson




phil didn’t like your report on mrs miller. he wants you to go see her again.

what? what was wrong with it?

he didn’t say. he just told me to tell you to go see her again.

but i saw her. but there is nothing else to say about her.

take it up with phil.

this is so unfair.

i see you don’t want to take it up with phil.

what about the report i did on mister wilson?

he didn’t say anything about it. not to me anyway.

so it must have been o k.

i couldn’t really say. ask phil.

but mrs miller and mr wilson are practically one and the same.

take it up with phil.

what was wrong with my report on mrs miller? it was the same as my report on mr wilson and they are exactly the same. they are identical twin clones.

i guess he didn’t think the report on mrs miller was good enough. but i’m just guessing.

good enough? what’s good enough? who gets to decide what’s good enough?

phil.

what difference does it make if something is good enough as long as you do it?

some people thinks it makes a difference.

some people are wrong. the only thing that matters is if you do something, and get it done. not if some mope with nothing to do all day except criticize other people thinks it isn’t good enough.

i’m just the messenger. you can go see mrs miller again or not. or talk to phil. it’s up to you.

the only thing that matters is getting something done.

what are you two bozos jabbering about? come on, it’s lunch time.
