Rate of Return

Yesterday, Deputy Director Faraday addressed staff on the disadvantages of switching to a digital platform, even though it was the current year. 

Just after, he slipped on a loose piece of carbon paper. He hit his head on an oak-paneled desk and spent the night in a brief coma.

Meanwhile a Trans-Ural Shiite group managed to detonate an EMP in the ionosphere over Paris. The world went dark.

Today, Deputy Director Faraday awoke, immediately rushed to hold an emergency meeting. He beamed as he listened to staff reports.  A full off-line accounting of what was needed where and how. Thanks to the slow rate of tech adoption under his leadership, the Bureau was going to pull through this with no break in services.

He smiles at a mimeographed bill of lading. No terrorist was going to stop this morning’s delivery of gorilla pellets to the National Zoo under his watch.
