The team-building retreat (Part 1). [myfirststory], [M40, G30-35], [teasing], [cheating].

Edit: Grammar/Typos.

I was getting late to work. That was really out of character for me. I was punctual, reliable and dependable. But I overslept for some reason. I still managed to make my hair look acceptable after a quick shower and I put on a clean ironed shirt and a tan suit.

I rushed in from the cold January weather. My snow covered oxfords got immediately wet as the snow melted in the warm air that welcomed me. My shoes squealed with each step up the stairs. It annoyed me more than it should. It was somehow out of character for me. I had my briefcase under my left arm and combed my hair with the fingers on the right hand as I walked into the office on the second floor. I expected to see Rebecca in the front desk but to my surprise, another woman was in her chair. I immediately felt awkward. Again, out of character. I was not my best self like I want to be when I meet new people. They say that first impressions stick. When my schedule change like coming late to work, I get a little less composed, even if it is just a matter of minutes.
