Mr. BELIN. Well, do you fill orders for any particular publisher more than another, so that you might be on the fifth floor, or the sixth floor more than the seventh, or do you just spend as much time on any one of those top floors as you do on any other top floor?
Mr. GIVENS. That's right.

[Unfortunately BELIN fails to establish when GIVENS began his latest stint, but since he was laying plywood TRULY did not need his skills as order filler or business related skills. Obviously, there were plenty of order fillers around not filling orders!]
