The plot and most of the story is okay in a so-so sort of way. A lot of it seems rather artificial and strains credibility.

But the conversation with Mr. K is the best part of this story. I found that very funny. I think you should have built the whole story around that idea (an employee contemplating such a conversation with his boss - in his mind - without actually getting himself fired) and left out the silly horoscope stuff out of it.

Excellent story liked it a lot. Truely `horror`scopes are great to read.

Outclass.
For a moment, I thought after getting over with this column, I would grope for Nancy Gray.
Truly a visualising masterpiece.
I saw the shabbo at least and Feeqa and the map of Sri Lanka.

Nice.
