It was almost eight a.m. by the time Anne walked into the office of Boundless Waves for the first time. \par \par She took in the room at a glance. Apple-green walls, light-oak reception desk. Four desks over to her left, currently unoccupied. There was a closed office door behind the receptionist, and another on the far left. \par \par Anne moved to the reception desk and introduced herself. \par \par \'93Hi, I\rquote m Anne and I\rquote m supposed to be starting here this morning. Anyone else about?\'94 \par \par \'93Good morning, Ms Berkely. I was told to expect you. Doctor Thoroughgood will be in shortly. He telephoned this morning to say he\rquote d be in at around ten o\rquote clock. I\rquote m Valerie, by the way, Valerie Shoemaker. In the meantime, may I offer you a cup of coffee, or a tea, perhaps?\'94 \par \par Valerie was a lady in her early thirties at Anne\rquote s guess, with dark brown curly hair and similar coloured eyes . There was, perhaps, a hint of an oriental slant to them that gave her face a slightly exotic look. Her accent was pure upper-class Kensington. She spoke with a formality that belied the liveliness in her eyes and the smile on her lips. \par \par Anne and Valerie chatted away while they were drinking their tea and waiting. Valerie handled a couple of calls, dealing with them with an easy competence. \par \par \'93How did you come to take a job with Sid and Ken?\'94 asked Anne. \par \par \'93Oh, I\rquote ve known Kenneth for quite a while. We met at a party, and when Sydney approached Kenneth with his idea for a company, Ken asked if I would like to come in as well. I wasn\rquote t doing anything else, as I\rquote d left my last job several months ago.\'94 She leaned forward and said in a lower voice, \'93Personality clash.\'94 In a normal tone she resumed, \'93So I said \lquote Of course!\rquote and here I am. Perhaps now we\rquote ll really get things moving! \'94 \par \par The two chatted until Sid arrived, looking hot and harassed. \par \par \'93Hello, Anne! Welcome aboard, my dear. Sorry I wasn\rquote t here when you arrived, I was meeting with some potential backers. Sadly, I think they\rquote ll remain potential ones, but one has to try. Come on, let\rquote s get you set up ready to get going. Your workstation only arrived yesterday, we haven\rquote t had time to install everything yet.\'94 \par \par The rest of the day was spent with Sid setting up her machine ready for use. There was a lot of trial and error in his approach to this, and Anne was getting frustrated before the end of the day. But progress was made, and by eight PM she appeared to have an operational system, with all the necessary software installed and registered. Satisfied, Sid leant back in the chair he\rquote d pulled up next to the machine. \par \par \'93It always seems to be so much more work than necessary to setup a computer. Still, that\rquote s done. We can get started in earnest tomorrow.\'94 \par \par Anne arrived at Stan\rquote s house a little after half past ten that evening, tired, and the more she thought about it, frustrated as well. She\rquote d spent the whole day and achieved absolutely nothing. \par \par \lquote Well, not }{\cs16\i\insrsid13970772\charrsid13970772 nothing}{\insrsid13970772 I suppose,\rquote she thought. \lquote Sid doesn\rquote t change.

Now, at least, I have an operating system to do some work }{\cs16\i\insrsid13970772\charrsid13970772 on}{\insrsid13970772 . Perhaps I can make a proper start tomorrow.\rquote \par \par Anne opened the door and hung up her coat. As promised, Stan and Denise were waiting up for her. There were hugs and kisses from both. Denise snorted when Anne described her day\'85 \par \par \'93Setting up one of those systems }{\cs16\i\insrsid13970772\charrsid13970772 can}{\insrsid13970772 take a while, but it shouldn\rquote t have taken }{\cs16\i\insrsid13970772\charrsid13970772 that}{\insrsid13970772 long!

A few moments later they were in bed, Denise\rquote s face close to his, still giggling a little over his antics. \par \par Just then they heard the doorbell ring. \par \par \'93Shit! The pizza!\'94 Stan exclaimed. Denise just laughed and leapt out of bed. \par \par \'93My bathrobe\rquote s hanging up behind the bathroom door!\'94 Stan called. \par \par A short time later Denise came back up nude, bearing a pizza with the rest of the food arranged on the box, along with a large cola bottle balanced on top.
