"The pattern of the truly great can be seen in the mind of the small." - Anonymous (FTP).
Caveat Emptor is a tale of the trials and tribulations of a civil service typist, Carl Wilson, as he struggles to get hold of his anger over not receiving a promotion within the municipal government of San Miguel, California. Along the way he insults his betters, pretends to act gracious, happens to land a spot on Wheel of Fortune ( but that's another story), and eventually gains a mediocre form of revenge.
It is a story of petty bureacracy. Feel free to leave any time you want to.
