Anyone who's ever done any job for a while, knows how easy it is to cut
corners. A lifetime or two ago, I was a rate and route operator for the
telephone company in Chicago. Two months into the job, I began rattling off
rates and routes from (near) memory. I'm sure I mislead the odd person or two
or three or a hundred. This, of course, didn't threaten anyone's life, and I'd
like to think if my laziness could have had more dire consequences, I would
have kept checking the books. But I suspect that laziness creeps in
everywhere. It's always seemed the grossest unfairness of our unfair lives
that we can all make the same mistakes and only some of us pay for them.
Being as lazy as I dare,
