March 12. My notation came.
At twenty past nine I looked at the account notation.
Eight Latin characters.
At twenty to ten I tried to set it against the notation in the query record.
The schedule shows a notation once only.
The query record too has one field for the notation.
There is no screen that puts two notations side by side.
At ten I copied them onto paper and set them against each other.
The first four agree.
The last four differ.
At twenty past ten I looked for the rule of notation.
The first four are the department notation.
The last four are the personal notation.
At twenty to eleven I entered that the first four agree.
The department of the side that queries is this room.
At eleven I looked at the last four differing.
It means the person is different.
One person is assigned to this room.
At twenty past eleven I queried the notation of the one before.
It is expunged and does not come up.
I looked for a function for comparing against an expunged notation.
There is none.
At noon I looked for the rule by which a personal notation is made.
It conforms to a table appended, it says.
No table is appended.
What the last four are made from is not known.
At one I looked for a box to enter that in.
There is none.
I wrote it in the margin. It is sixty-two.
There is nothing to count with to tell whether the last four differing means a different person or another account of the same person.
At ten past one I read the rest of the notice of issue.
There is a classification of rights.
Query, entry and publication.
Query is marked.
Entry is marked too.
The publication box is blank.
At a quarter past one I looked for the rights of the one before.
Expunged, they do not come up.
They said they held no right to enter in the right-hand material.
They did hold a right of entry. They filled the schedule's fields.
That means the right differs field by field, and the classification has three classes.
At twenty past one I looked for since when a notation remains in the query record.
Mid-February last year.
Before that the field for the side that queried held only accounts inside this building.
The field appeared and then the notations remained.
Queries before that have no notation.
At twenty to two I looked for the classification of perusal.
Outside perusal, it says.
What passes over the outside network is called outside perusal.
This room's terminal passes over the outside network too.
The classification attaches to the route and not to the person.
Opened from this room it is outside perusal as well.
At two I counted the queries at twenty to nine.
It is the second month.
Not one day was missed.
The same to the minute.
At twenty past two I looked up what I had entered about the hour I arrive.
Ten to nine.
The prescribed hour of attendance is half past eight.
At twenty to three I entered this morning.
I came at half past eight.
At twenty to nine I did not touch the terminal.
My hand was not on the keys.
That hour is in the query record.
At three I went to enter that it is one of two.
Either it was not opened from this room's terminal, or the terminal opened it.
There is no ground for entering which.
The query record has no field for the terminal.
I wrote it in the margin. It is sixty-three.
At ten past three I looked for what I had been opening it with until yesterday.
I had no account.
For sixty-nine days after taking the post I opened it without a notation.
I looked at how those queries remain in the record.
The notation field is blank.
At twenty past three I opened the box.
Seven articles. Seven impressions. The three hundred and eighty-second day.
At twenty to four I looked at the sixth field.
Seven thousand and ninety-three.
At four I drew off the query record. The set's row was opened ninety-four times yesterday. The imprint route, sixty.
At twenty past four I opened the right-hand material.
Six hundred and fifty-four pages. The date of the page that grew is the tenth of April, ninety-nine.
The third line of page five hundred and thirty-nine is blank.
The seventy-fourth day.
At twenty to five I opened the notebook.
That line on page sixty-four is as it was.
The account notations have increased by one. This room's notations are two.
There is no count that comes to eight today either.
At ten to five I counted the queries without a notation and the queries with one separately.
Queries before February last year carry no outside notation.
The queries of my sixty-nine days have none either.
Counted in one field, the one before's and mine come to one figure.
There is no field for counting them apart.
I wrote it in the margin. It is sixty-four.
At five I opened the schedule.
The compiler field and the imprint field are one row.
I set that notation against mine.
The first four agree and the last four differ.
At twenty past five I read the schedule's rule again.
The value displayed is the notation of the account that entered that field.
If I enter anything in that field, the schedule will show my notation.
The notation in the compiler field will change.
What has been one row will become two.
If I enter, that is what happens.
I have entered nothing in that field yet.
