10:30 AM.
It was thirty minutes past the
hour of ten in the morning. The sun was beaming glaringly everywhere. I rushed
to my building and swiftly glided across the room, so not to catch everyone’s
attention. All I could hear were strokes of the keyboard. I was late. I was
thirty minutes late. I told myself, ‘maybe
everybody’s just a little early’.
I jumped onto my seat, pushed the
lever up to elevate my position. I turned my laptop on and checked a pile of
emails waiting to be read; each one was tagged ‘highly important’.
My morning was busy, I started the day with the usual routines I often do at work. I moved out from my desk and hopped into a meeting; it lasted two hours.
