Chapter 4 EPA

Early the next morning, Jack took the No. [-] subway to City Hall.

Mayor Snard also took the No. [-] subway to work every day. The newspaper also reported on this incident, but Jack had never met him. The No. [-] subway crossed Queens and Brooklyn and went straight to Manhattan. For this line, you can refer to BJ Line [-]. The probability of meeting an acquaintance is probably a little higher than buying a lottery ticket.

The office of the Environmental Protection Agency is also located in the City Hall, which saved Jack a lot of work. He took his belongings from the staff office, greeted Booker, and turned around to report to the Environmental Protection Agency.Compared with yesterday's high-spirited and high-spirited, Jack has tasted the warmth and warmth of the American version today.

The Director of the Environmental Protection Agency, Joe Johnson, is an old man of Irish origin. He has worked here for 30 years, and after a few more years, he can retire with a generous pension, so these few years are very important to him.

There is a world of difference between political administrators and affairs officers in the United States. Administrative officers are elected and responsible for formulating policies, while affairs officers are responsible for the implementation of policies.

Usually, political affairs officials are called officials, and affairs officials are equivalent to officials.

However, political officials have a term of office. For example, Mayor Snader was elected mayor of New York, and his term is three years. If he wants to make a difference, he must make a huge contribution during his term of office, and then be re-elected. It is quite difficult.

And the clerk can take office as long as he passes a simple exam, and usually he can work for the government for a lifetime without making mistakes, which is the American version of the iron rice bowl.

Joe is one such clerk who has dedicated his life to the EPA.

Joe did not welcome Jack's arrival. According to the fax he received this morning, Jack came to work for the Environmental Protection Agency as a special assistant to the Environmental Protection Agency. This position does not exist in the sequence of affairs officials. That is to say, Jack's current status is still the mayor Staff, the salary is paid out of the administrative expenses of the mayor's office, Joe has no jurisdiction over Jack, and he doesn't know how to arrange Jack, so he is very indifferent to Jack.

After routinely arranging an office for Jack, he started busy with his own affairs.

The office environment of the Environmental Protection Agency is good, unlike the staff office where 30 people are crowded together.

There is a computer and a telephone in the office, which are the basic configuration. As for other office supplies, they need to go to the logistics office to claim them. However, because Jack belongs to the staff, he can only go to the staff logistics office to claim them.

Jack didn't care about that, and he wasn't really here to work for the EPA.

He has only one goal, to find the black material of the Plastics Association. After completing this goal, he will leave. Isn't the position of the press officer of the city hall not good?
The scientific name of plastic products is high molecular polymer, which is a general term. In fact, all walks of life are full of plastic products. Human beings cannot do without them. But plastics may have thousands of benefits, but they have fatal disadvantages , The degradation rate of plastic is very, very slow. It may take 2-200 years for an ordinary plastic bag to be completely assimilated by microorganisms in the soil, degraded into CO400 and water to achieve inorganic mineralization.

This is commonly known as white pollution.

And also can form pollution in the manufacturing process of plastic.

Although plastics have these two fatal weaknesses, there is still a long way to go to completely replace plastic products, which is why the Plastics Association is confident.

Snard placed Jack in the Environmental Protection Agency after the incident. His purpose is actually very easy to figure out. Your Plastics Association made it difficult for me, and I will not make it easy for you. There are too many black materials in the Environmental Protection Agency. .

Jack did what he said, and after obtaining the right to use the reference room from Joe, he quickly went to the reference room.

It's just that when the black aunt who guarded the reference room opened the door of the reference room, Jack was dumbfounded. There were all paper materials here!

"Mary, don't you have a computer software index?"

asked Jack.

"No, no one usually comes to this ghostly place, and the technical department has never thought of upgrading this place." The black aunt Mary shrugged, and then said: "If you want to find black materials from a certain company, then I I suggest you start with filing cabinet number four."

"Is there any trick?" Jack asked curiously.

"Because the last person who came here to look for black materials gave up after looking for the third filing cabinet!"

Jack is numb.

No wonder Joe would show such a relieved and embarrassed expression when he wanted the right to use the reference room. Even the janitor could guess that he was looking for black material. Maybe Joe knew the truth, but he didn't point it out.

Although it looks a bit difficult, Jack is still full of confidence. In his previous life, he once participated in inspection work, and his responsibility was to check the information. He still has some experience in finding information, isn't it just a waste of time?Anyway, no matter how difficult it is, he must make the Plastics Association pay the due price.

……

A few hours later, at 12:[-] noon, while Jack was still working hard in front of No. [-] cabinet, Mary came and knocked on the big iron door.

"Jack, I'm leaving get off work."

"Okay, Mary, you put the key there, I will close the door later." Jack replied without looking back.

"No, I mean, you should go!" Mary walked behind Jack and said seriously.

What do you mean?
Jack was a little confused, "Mary, I still need half an hour to read the materials in this cabinet, I will close the door, don't worry."

"No, Jack, we have a rule that anyone who checks the information needs to be accompanied by me, and it is impossible for me to hand over the key to you. Now, I have to go to dinner after get off work, so you can also leave work!"

Looking at Mary's sacred and inviolable expression, Jack knew he had lost.

Leaving the reference room and watching Mary close the big iron door of the reference room, Jack felt like crying. With this work efficiency, he might not be able to read all the materials here in his lifetime.

In fact, Jack estimated the current situation optimistically. He hurried to the cafeteria to eat lunch and returned to the Environmental Protection Agency. After waiting for nearly two hours, he found out that all the staff of the Environmental Protection Agency had a holiday in the afternoon!
Jack had a certain understanding of the situation of American civil servants at first. As a group of people who can get into retirement as long as they don’t make mistakes, they are usually characterized by being extremely serious in doing things but extremely slow in efficiency, never going to work on time but must leave work on time, Never violate any rules and regulations, and of course the most important point is to let go if there is a holiday!

Jack knows that American civil servants have many holidays, but today is Wednesday!What kind of fake is this?

Jack's heart was broken, he had nothing to do, he had to go home, thinking about his incredible workload in his previous life, Jack envied his colleagues in the United States from the bottom of his heart.
