ABSTRACT

So, Narvell gathered a pad of paper and a pencil and headed for his now customary seat against the wall in the engineering conference room. Sitting down, he noticed that neither Bill nor Jimbo looked very happy. As he looked around the room, Narvell saw that several of the other engineering managers and senior engineers had this same unhappy expression. And then, in walked Fred Schmidt. Fred had the same expression on his face only he was staring straight at Bill as if he were trying to burn holes in the engineering director’s body.
