Murray Jensen was 26, when he commenced working as a legal clerk for a solicitor in the Irish village, who had been one of the first professionals to open for business in the village after the problems of dimension shifting into various time zones of the giant land had been solved two years earlier. Murray himself lived in the neighbouring village, and would ride his pushbike along the paths to work each day.

The solicitor, Norman Tesoriero, had been employing a secretary named Kayla, who had proved to be unreliable in her work attendance. When challenged to improve her performance, Kayla had agreed at the time. However, the following morning, she had telephoned Norman and resigned without even giving two weeks notice, and then left for parts unknown. It was only after Norman had instructed Murray to prepare a lease using the template file, that a further problem was discovered. It seemed that Kayla was rather vindictive, and as a parting shot at Norman, she had moved the lease template file into an encrypted folder.

“Here’s where you get your money’s worth,” said Murray, “I’ve been an I.T. graduate for two and a half years now, but couldn’t find work in my own village or this one.”

“Well the villages would have been economically disadvantaged by all the supernatural upheaval in the area,” said Norman.

“I think I can decrypt your lease file for you, if you give me a few hours on it,” said Murray.

“I’d be very grateful,” said Norman, “I paid Kayla a lot of work hours wages to type that lease template up. It’s the largest template for any bit of legal work we do. Then she just gives notice and nicks off. Without it, there’s a whole group of some of my best clients I can’t help.”

Murray applied a series of decryption techniques, until he finally managed to open the encrypted folder. The first thing on his mind at that point was to create a new accessible folder on the hard drive of the computer, and immediately move all the files from the encrypted folder to the accessible one. He named the folder ‘Leases’ and then used the ‘select all’ option to move all the files into it.

Norman was elated, and said, “If we weren’t behind schedule in doing the lease that led to the discovery of this problem, I’d give you the afternoon off. But you can expect a good bonus in your first paycheck this week.”

Murray put Norman’s dictophone tape back into the player, slipped the headphones over his ears, and used the foot pedal to play the tape. Following Norman’s dictated instructions, he filled in the lease details, using a duplicate file he’d made from the template and named it after the leasing client. When the job was finished, he worked on a few probate and conveyancing letters and documents (which Norman had been dictating, while he’d been recovering and making use of the lease). They were far less complicated.
