Episode 40: Looking to the Future

Terrastina composes a want ad for the newspaper. Needed: energetic and talented individual to operate coffee shop. Long hours, low pay, mostly drudge work, no room for advancement. All the free coffee you want. She shows it to Mazolli. I didn’t know we were hiring someone, he says. We aren’t, says Terrastina, but this is the job we have. Why did we answer this ad? Mazolli is mystified by her question. Well, we own The Brew, he says. It’s different for us. Some day we’ll sell it and retire. Oh yeah, says Terrastina. Retirement. I remember something about that.
