*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
A lady comes to Supertemps applying for a job. The Supertemps lady, Roxanne, asks if she can type. "A bit." comes the reply. Roxanne tests her on the typewriter. The lady typist can't find the ON button before she starts and by the time she finds it, types the letter T, and uses liquid paper on it, times up. Roxanne lies to potential employer about typing "45 words per minute" for the woman. The woman accepts but has trouble keeping up with typing instructional recording on headphones and forgets to take them off when Roxanne calls. The boss dictates letter which the woman has trouble keeping up with and can't find file the boss wants her to put letter in. Roxanne calls again to ask how she's doing and she says not fine so Roxanne tells her to take lunch and never come back. The lady looks up boss from outside and waves goodbye even though boss is not looking. "That'll show him." she says. The end. Although what I describe doesn't sound like much, this was a very funny short about a woman's inability to even slightly improve at her assigned job. Plus the overly enthusiastic Roxanne is hilarious in her British accent! A worthy entry in Volume 5 of The International Tournee of Animation from 1992.
