That One Manager
I kick at the small pebble in front of me, it scatters down the street. As I make my way into work, my friend Avery walks by. Her preppy smile and joyful expression attempt to break through the shield of my frown. She waves.
I nod.
Far different from our usual giggles and squealing routine.
I brace myself and walk through the doorway of the tall office building. Immediately when I walk in I’m shoved by a passerby who refused to move. Shows them right for standing with their back to the door.
I hear them behind me quickly apologize.
They really should do more.
I walk away without acknowledging them.
I see Michael walk away from the coffee stand without refilling the water jug. I see Leisal very clearly not doing her job, as she stands next to the poster wall without replacing the old ones. I see broken legged Dan moving the boxes at a painfully slow pace.
“Must I do everything around here!?”
I grab six boxes in one hand, while very ungracfully refilling the water jug and tearing the posters of the wall.
After I promptly sit down on my desk. Everyone stares.
“What are you looking at? Get back to work!”
