Jack: Hey, what's going on
with the Gazette these days? I opened a copy earlier and it literally
crumbled to dust in my hands.
Louisa: Told you there's a
paper shortage. We've had to start using this low-grade paper
substitute.
Jack: I bet people who buy
the Brooks Academy Crier don't have to deal with this shit
Louisa: It's Tania's fault.
For months now she's been refusing to print the pages double-sided
cos she likes to laminate them on her wall at home and she doesn't
want any bleed-through, so we used up our whole year's paper budget
in six months.
Jack: Couldn't she have just
done the single-sided thing on her own personal copy, and printed all
the rest normally?
Louisa: I don't think she
knows how to change the printer settings back and forth like that.
She's useless. When I become editor, I'm gonna do things totally
differently.
Jack: Maybe printing isn't
her forte, but she must've been given the job for a reason
Louisa: Yeah, cos Mrs
Jamboree is her aunt
Jack: Don't you get tired of
being so cynical?
Louisa: Since when does
pointing out other people's cynicism make me cynical? Tania must be
the worst editor the Gazette's ever had.
Jack: Wasn't the previous
editor a duck?
Louisa: That was just
ceremonial. And besides, he quacked approval to some very courageous
articles.
