Janelle Woith: Whose Buffer

Late Sep-Oct 2049. A drop of acid on Gary Holtz's ash streak shows his YardDesk carbon credit is mill chalk, and Dale's lab confirms it. The registry auditor asks how many hours stand behind the 2049 vintage and Janelle sends the unpaid ones too. Ken's pocket still leaks iron in a dry week. Storm 8 pairs at Schierer. YardDesk's pilot tech arrives with a new meter and no buffer, borrows hers, and logs whose it was. That night she strikes her own overcount.
