I knew how to approach the problem. I knew which teams needed to coordinate. I knew the kinds of records that needed to be compared before any replacement payment file could be trusted.

Worse, I would teach Harold that he could dismiss me on Friday and summon me back whenever his replacement encountered difficulty.
