The Basket Factory Workers Code:

1. Be sure to stock up on reeds at the beginning of your shift. You never want to run out of reeds mid-basket.
2. Pick one of the good stools.
3. If it's lunchtime and you only have a few reeds left to weave, finish your basket.
4. Never substitute paper for reeds. The inspectors notice every time, and then you'll have them on your ass for at least a week.
5. Stick to the diagram. We all know how the basket is supposed to look, so don't try and get cute (Beverly).
6. Make a point not to stack your finished baskets too high. Ten or twelve should do.
