    "Hey, Mike - stop what you're doing for a sec."

    "No." He doesn't look at Bob. He keeps tying at a fast clip.

    "Just a sec. You've been working on the bear site non-stop since yesterday. I'm Bob Nobody and you're Mike Rando. You're not gonna get out of this cubicle and promoted faster if you work work yourself like a dog."

    "Work produces results."

    "C'mon. Just a sec."

    "Fine. You have a 30 seconds." Looks at watch. "Starting... now."

    "What does beanis really mean?"

    "It's in the 𝙷𝚎𝚡𝚋𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝙳𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚍𝚎𝚍 𝚃𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚢 𝙱-𝟻 file."

    "Just tell me."

    "No."

    "You've already done at least 5 files for just the Bs?"

    Sighing. "You haven't read a thing - have you. Not actually a question. Before you ask me any more questions - consult all the reference materials. I'm busy."

    "How many files have you written for the bear site? I mean in tot—"

    Angry. "Time is up." Looks away and starts typing at a fast clip again.

    "Not 30 seconds. Did you sleep in the office? Where? There's no place to lie down. Did you end up sleeping right there in chair?"

    He keeps typing but it's clear that he's even angrier. "A maximum of 30 is implied."
