Memoir - Week 21
I phoned Erin like
this for months before it dawned on my love-stricken mind that a confession to
my supervisor would be prudent. I told my supervisor I’d been phoning Erin at
the Australian Federal Police’s expense in the wee hours. He advised me to
further self-report with the accounts section, while his narrowed eyes and
subtle grin conveyed to me an understanding of the situation.
“I see”, was the
surprisingly friendly reply. “Well, Accounts doesn’t have the ability right now
to itemise international telephone calls. We wouldn’t be able to work out what
you owe. So, perhaps you shouldn’t make any further calls to the US”, the
accounts team member kindly finished suggesting to me. I had taken a liberty
and emerged unscathed.
