wait, not *mine* - I never go along with business as usual and turn
the uncooperative over to the bailiff (although I guess from my family
name we *were* the bailiffs at one point...)

I like Bartleby as the embodiment of the development of conscience,
formerly employed at the Dead Letter office....
what else becomes so inconvenient to efficient business practices as
to inspire a change of address -- as Halliburton and so many others
find their operations conducted more smoothly offshore -- and the
invocation of the gendarmerie?

Bartleby - the first Occupant?
