OFFICE PROCEDURES
ENJOY THE STORY OF FOUR PEOPLE • THIS IS A STORY ABOUT FOUR PEOPLE NAMED EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY & NOBODY. THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT WORK TO BE DONE & EVERYBODY WAS SURE THAT SOMEBODY WOULD DO IT. ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE IT, BUT NOBODY DID IT. SOMEBODY GOT ANGRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT WAS EVERYBODY’S JOB. EVERYBODY THOUGHT THAT ANYBODY COULD DO IT, BUT NOBODY REALISED THAT EVERYBODY WOULD NOT DO IT. IT ENDED UP THAT EVERYBODY BLAMED SOMEBODY WHEN ACTUALLY NOBODY ACCUSED ANYBODY.
