1:09:02
So I decided to fight fire with fire.
1:09:07
I began writing letters
to the guy who was reading my mail.
1:09:14
I addressed them to myself.
1:09:17
But inside they went
something like...
1:09:20
"Dear sir...
1:09:23
"I'm not that different from you.
1:09:25
"All men are brothers.
1:09:28
"Tomorrow, instead of reading
my mail in that dark, dusty hall...
1:09:32
why not bring it upstairs so
we can check it out together."
1:09:38
I never got an answer.
1:09:42
So I wrote another letter.
1:09:45
"Dear sir...
1:09:48
"There are no heroes, no villains...
1:09:52
"no good guys, no bad guys.
1:09:54
"The world's more
complicated than that.
1:09:58
Come on upstairs where we can open
a couple of beers and talk it all out."
1:10:04
Again, no answer.
1:10:09
So I wrote...
1:10:11
"Dear sir...
1:10:14
"I've been thinking too much
of my own problems...
1:10:17
"too little of yours.
1:10:20
"Yours can't be a happy task,
reading another man's mail.
1:10:23
"It's dull, it's unimaginative...
1:10:26
"it's a job... and let's not mince words...
for a hack.
1:10:32
"Yet I wonder...
1:10:35
"can this be the way
you see yourself?
1:10:39
"Do you see yourself as a hack?
1:10:43
"Do you see yourself
as the office slob?
1:10:47
"Have you ever wondered why they
stuck you with this particular job...
1:10:50
instead of others
who have less seniority?"
1:10:57
That letter never
got delivered to me.
