Two days into the new job, Tim loses his phone again, this time on the subway, forcing him to borrow a roommate's phone and figure out what to do.
- Tim got promoted from Staten Island copier sales to Manhattan office, meeting his new boss Al who praised his noise-making ability.
- Sales company hired people fresh out of prison who barely understood what they were selling, including a woman who cried during a call and hung up.
- Coworker Madeline was making six grand a month and got excited about company trip eligibility, diving into a salad with excessive toppings.
- Sales companies use trip incentives for good performers, which Tim notes creates drunk liability at company events.
- Tim sat silently through Al's rapid-fire questions about sports teams because he needed the job, naming dozens of teams without committing to any preference.
- Copier sales is the lowest level of office equipment sales, where even the good salesmen are disrespected and winning feels like losing.
- Al's daughter Nikita squared up with a pizza delivery guy, prompting Al to brag about her toughness to Tim.
