“You look stressed. You should go for a nice walk.” That was the last thing Randall from Accounting said to me, the last thing any of them said to me. The Gunderson account had been too much, with everyone involved happy to let me handle it all. I WAS stressed, and it was their fault. Especially Randall from Accounting. So I took his advice and went for a walk, first around the block, then up Lopevekk Street, then farther. My feet didn’t want to stop, so I didn’t. Not sure where I am now. Nice view. No Randall in sight.
