Monday morning in the state chronology and tocsin device service centre: "Good morning. Would you care for coffee?" "Please, two sugars, black and very strong!" "I'm guessing someone had a bad weekend?" "I take it you haven't read the morning news feed yet?" "What happened?" "Mm. Remind me to ask exactly what the client needs in future." "Why?" "That alteration I made last week was the wrong one." "What did you do?" "Apparently the gentleman slept close to his window." "So?" "Rather than have the device gently shake him awake I changed its function to gently roll him out of bed."
