The man had to finish his day's work, travel home, talk to his family, perhaps go to the cinema or to a parents' meeting at his children's school, and finally get to sleep (some did, some didn't), then choke down his breakfast the next morning, while all the time the question was drilling and gnawing at him, 'Why does he want to see me?' The long hours would give the man plenty of time for remorse and general misgivings, and he would no doubt vow never again to cross his bosses at meetings. When ten o'clock finally came, it might turn out that nothing more was wanted than to check his date of birth or the number on his diploma.
Al trabajador le faltaba todavía terminar su jornada, regresar a casa, hablar con su familia, puede que hasta ir al cine o a una reunión de apoderados en la escuela. y dormir (algunos se dormían, otros no); y luego, a la mañana siguiente, ahogarse tomando el desayuno…, sin que por un instante dejara de atormentarlo y taladrarlo esta pregunta: "¿Pero para qué me llamará?" Durante aquellas largas horas, el trabajador tenía tiempo de arrepentirse de muchas cosas, de hallar muchos motivos de aprensión y de adoptar la resolución de no buscarles más camorra a sus jefes, en las reuniones. Llegaba y… a veces no había sino una fecha de nacimiento o un número de diploma que verificar.
