As a rookie accountant in the small, dusty office, I had to
learn the ropes of the trade fast.
“Get the invoices from the previous year!” the pot-bellied
manager growled from behind his desk.
He was a weird guy whose shifting eyes gave me the creeps. He
was not the only one who gave me the chills, though. I remember getting into
the record room to fish out old invoices.
I nearly screamed in horror as the ram stared back at me
nonchalantly. I had inadvertently opened a Pandora’s Box and poaching
was among many evils that stumbled out.
