This is a comic page with 5 panels. Panel 1 reads: "There were all kinds of positions I could have chosen from, as many did. Lots of people liked the stability of working in the same type of position frequently, But I had chosen to work as a 'Flexible Position,' which essentially meant that management of our community found an empty position that needed a worker for me each day." This panel depicts the flexible worker position as an intermediate between other positions, including a farmer, constructor, inventory worker, and a waste management worker. Panel 2: The young woman notices the incoming message and grabs her comms device from the table. Panel 3: This panel shows a close-up of the message on the phone. --- Date: 2455.02.13, Time: 06:39, From: flexlaborunion@assoc03.fwd, To: kfairstone2435@assoc03.fwd, Subject: Labor Assignment 2455/02/13, Message: "Location: Waste Management Plant 103, Job: Waste Associate -sorry kels" --- Panel 4: The young woman sets her phone back on the table next to her coffee, wrinkles her nose, and says "Ugh..." Panel 5 reads: "However, I wasn't planning on staying a Flexible Laborer for long, so I didn't mind all that much. I only had just over a month left until I could take my placement exam..." The young woman stretches out, and behind her the shadow of a foot is visible in the hallway.
