Bartleby begins his new job in a public records company office near a freeway, with an air conditioner that vibrates and a window without a view. But his new boss has trouble coping with Bartleby's professional aspirations: to have no ambition, no goal except to do no work at all and to stand still for hours, indeed days at a time, in the middle of the office.
