A Day at Work

The train drove fast through the tunnels. She did not want to go to work today. This Monday morning seemed more awful then normal. She thought to herself that it must have been because of the new boss who was starting that day. Next stop “Fleet Street”, the screen wrote. She got up and began walking towards the door. She could feel a black hooded man staring at the “Lucky Pharmacy” logo on her shirt right under her nametag, which said Sarah. She tried to ignore him. She kept on walking, but a little faster then normal. Because of the new boss she had to focus on work that day. While she walked down the street the light started breaking through the sky. A little smile appeared on her lips. Maybe it was not going to be such a bad day anyway she thought to herself. She entered the store through the backdoor. She looked around with a nervous expression on her face. “I do not think we have met” she heard from behind her. It was her new boss. Her heart pounded like a thousand horses running over the hills. She slowly turned around and looked at the man she now was to think of as her new boss. “God morning” she stuttered. She smiled and looked down. “hello my name is Paul, I am the new chief of staff” he said. She started to look nervously around the room, looked down at her nails she wanted to bite them. Ding the clock said “Oh my shift starts now”. She moved quickly towards the door. Saved by the bell she thought to herself.
