JAMES

James has some problems at work. He works a second job at night, so sometimes he gets up late. When he gets to work, someone is parked in his parking spot. He teaches all day, and then when it is time for lunch, he sees that someone stole his lunch [potatoes]. He tries to make copies for the students, but the copy machine keeps breaking. The other workers are angry because they think he broke the machine. Finally, he is ready to go home. Then his supervisor asks him to stay late because another worker is sick.
