help

Tuesday, 8th of september

A friendly greeting from the man who runs the

cafe in the department of the university building.

He is distracted, hunting for a sign. One that-

he has left somewhere.

He takes a break from his search to make

a medium coffee, a coffee that is simply better

than the one made at home, and much better than the one that the office machine makes.

Then he resumes his search. He finds

a clear acrylic holder. Then he rushes toput two tables together. The tables are long and awkward, despite their not being heavy. The table that he is trying to move has a bench on either side of it, pushed underneath. He tries to move the table. 

The bench is in the way. He moves the bench. Then he moves the table. The other bench is now in the way.

So he moves the other bench. He tips the table, and the acrylic sign falls onthe floor. Then he moves the table to one side.

Now the benches are in the way again.

get up and help.

It is impossible to watch the awkwardness.

The work is done in seconds

with the extra two hands.
