I think it's obvious why it took an hour... the HR Director needs to keep 
her job, and not let anyone get the idea that it's very possible that a 
semi-trained chimpanzee could do it in her place. After all, the task must 
have been complex and requiring specialized talent if she has to fly over 
personally and spend an hour going over the thing in what I can only imagine 
was *excruciating* detail. :-)
