Day 6: Not Resting

The office is still quiet. In a few hours, it'll be buzzing with activity.

I like coming in early on Saturdays. It gives me time to gather my thoughts/spy on what everyone else is working on. I can even use the coffee machine properly and foam milk for a latte (a forbidden activity during regular hours, apparently the frothing sound irritates Michael. I think he's just lactose-intolerant and taking it out on innocent caffeine-deprived employees).

It's weird to see a space empty of live bodies, and imagine what it could be if different people inhabitated it. It could all be bubbly, happy people. Or it could be filled with just regular people, not a population of tense, tortured individuals. It's like being in an empty house and imagining how different families would have different lives in the space. Hmm. Very philosophical morning. Must drink more lattes.
