Great Regulars: I offered to sign an agreement

that I would not get pregnant during my period of employment there, but my offer was rejected with mirth.

My desk grew in malevolence; it represented not just hard work counting other people’s money, but injustice; I was working for less pay than the man sitting two desks away.
