Mr Jefferies’ Retirement
Peter Norman Jefferies had worked 35 years in an accountancy job he hated. Well, hated may be a strong word. He had worked 35 years in an accountancy job he was totally indifferent to; hate was possibly a bit beyond him. For you see, Peter was not particularly a man of peaks and valleys in his emotions, or in his life in general. He entered the field of accountancy because upon completing his O-Levels he scored above average in Mathematics. Not very far above average, mind you (this tendency toward the middle of the bell curve being a repeated pattern in his life) but well enough as to gently nudge him toward a numeric-based occupation. Of all the options available to him, accountancy seemed the safest to fall into. And so, he fell.
