A new worker was joining the travel office on Tuesday. Ellie cleaned a desk for him on Monday afternoon. She found a keyboard, a lamp and a box of pens. Only a chair was missing. The spare chair in the kitchen had a broken leg.
Ellie asked the office manager about buying another one. 'It is already on its way,' he said. 'But it will arrive on Wednesday.' Ellie looked around the room. Every other chair belonged to someone who worked there.
Then Paul explained that he worked from home on Tuesdays. The new worker could use his chair for one day. Ellie put a note on it, so nobody would move it into the meeting room before the morning.
On Tuesday, the new worker arrived and sat comfortably at his desk. He read the note and asked who Paul was. The next day, when his own chair arrived, he returned Paul's chair with a thank-you note and two fresh pens.
