Donna's Plane Ticket Reimbursement File
Donna wrenches the thick file from the file cabinet's top shelf, its sagging manila edges crammed with reimbursement forms that snarl airline ticket claims into endless red tape; she thrusts it toward Josh amid bullpen bustle, his eyes rolling in shared defeat as they lament bureaucratic paralysis, Toby drifts close enough to catch the gripe before pie lures him away, Amy Gardner and John Tandy lingering in the charged periphery while pages rustle like accusations of incompetence.
