This all took place a few weeks ago. I’m still trying to process what happened and where things might go next.
It was a slow day in the office. Where we live it was a local holiday and the office was technically closed. I swung by anyway to take advantage of the quiet and get caught up on a few things and had one early afternoon call that I needed to pretend to participate on.
There were two other people in the office with me that day. As it relates to the story, my coworker Sam (as we will call her) was one of them. She was lucky enough to have to sit through the boredom of that same afternoon call.
