Sure I do.

Aha! Now I've got it. Clerkie is envious that others have jobs where they
can "goof off". Harold never had a job like that. He was the library
equivalent of a dishwasher -- a pair of hands connected to a very limited
mind, capable of performing simple tasks learned by rote. ("Shelve these
books, Harold.") He cringes because he knows the rest of us are
self-directed professionals.....

Baloney. You are wasting your boss's time. Get back to work.
