Tess loved her job, really she did, but sometimes it felt a little stifling having to work in the office. She liked the office, she liked the people she worked with, but sometimes it was a little much and she wasn't exactly sure why. She was doing her best to figure it out, to adapt, instead of freezing and hiding like she would've a year ago.
God, had she really been there for almost a year? It was a fact that just didn't seem real. Thinking about it made her jot down a reminder to check in with the others and see how they were doing -- she saw some of them more often than others, but she hadn't really spent any serious amount of time with them. That didn't feel right somehow. Never mind that she hadn't been friends with any of them over there -- she'd been too afraid for friends -- it still sat wrong that she didn't really talk to them.
She'd change that soon.
Right then, though, she was on her second coffee in an hour because she had a deadline to meet and the client wasn't exactly the easiest of people to deal with. But she'd manage it. She always did. And like always, it was going to involve entirely too much caffeine and the baristas slipping her drinks that were probably less coffee and more death by caffeinated beverage.
Hey, it worked.
