    A DAY AT WORK
    In the morning I attended a meeting between management and union
    representatives. The discussion was very comprehensive, covering topics like
    working hours, days o, retirement age, etc. Both sides were interested in
    an agreement and ready to compromise. The secretary recorded everything
    in the notes. Eventually, they decided to set a new meeting to sign the nal draft of the
    agreement.
    Back at the oice, a colleague of mine asked me if I had realized that
    the proposed agreement would be partially against the company policy not
    to accept workers that have already retired. I pretended to be really busy
    and late for an appointment, and left for the cafeteria. Actually, I didn't
    want to discuss the matter at that particular moment because there were
    some strangers in the oice.
    After lunch I attended a lecture given by the mayor, who is an expert
    in tax legislation and has a graduate degree in political science. He said his
    government intends to assist welfare programs and senior citizens, raise
    funds to improve college education and build a public library, and establish
    tougher limits on vehicle emissions because he assumes this is what the
    people expect from the government.
