Other Duties As Assigned is the story of Marty McCallender, a regular guy who just wants to make it through the work day without falling asleep during a meeting.
------
One day he hears a rumor that the company is planning for the launch of a new product at the field office in the town of Arroyo Desperado.
------
Marty's job has taken him there in the past, and it just so happens that he's been asked to make another trip this week.
------
As he drives through the desert in a battleship-gray company car on a lonely two-lane highway, he remembers the time he dreamed he saw a flying saucer.
------
He had this dream back when he was a kid.
------
Marty and his buddy were exploring an extinct volcano outside of town when they stopped to rest, both falling asleep.
------
The dream was so vivid that, many years later, he remembers every detail.
------
It was a dream, wasn't it?
------
Marty stops for gas in the small town of Cakeville, named for the fine pastries available at a café that closed down years ago.
------
He strikes up a conversation with the reclusive proprietor of the gas station, who lives up in the hills outside of town.
------
He has built a deck where he sits and watches for UFOs, and invites Marty to come and see it on his way back from Arroyo Desperado.
------
When he arrives at the field office, there's not much to be found out.
------
The marketing types arrived in a small charter plane, picked up the manager and left.
------
Back home, Marty is soon asked to make another trip to the field office.
------
He's been told a Miss Green has asked for him specifically to assist in standardizing the office's product ordering and inventory systems.
------
Who is this Miss Green?
