Bartleby, the Scrivener, found out Monday that he had been one of the latest victims in the recent wave of cuts in the postal service when he was informed that his job at the Dead Letters Office had been terminated. A fellow employee at the office described Bartleby's mood as even more depressed than usual. "The guy really looked gloomy when he found out. A bunch of us asked him if he'd like to go out for lunch on his last day and he just said he'd prefer not to. Poor bastard."
