What I think about life.

Help wanted

Cat sits in her desk and look out the window. She sips on her coffee and stop abruptly when she notices how cold her coffee gets since the last time she drank it. She ask her assistant for another cup of coffee because she really needs it. She has a few piles of work to do and another meeting in an hour. She learn how to rest when she needs to unlike her previous work habits.

Her assistant, Holly, come into the room with a nice hot cup of coffee. She is a bright-eyed girl, who seem always eager to learn and takes up new challenges, remind Cat when she was Holly's age. She thanked Holly for the coffee and look out the window. She can see the greens of the trees and shrubs. She can also see the blues of the sky. Nature is really nice. Its not too late to quit the job, she thought. Whenever she is stressed out, the thought of quitting is very tempting.

She can see an eagle fly up in the sky. Somehow this stops her from her coffee break and she immediately continue her work. She work until Holly remind Cat of her meeting call.

Holly go the pantry and take a bag of coffee. She quickly go to the coffee machine and make some for her boss, Cat. She likes her boss. She is very friendly and helpful. Whenever Holly make some kind of mistakes, Cat always try to give her a good advice. Something she really needs for someone who is new in the workforce.

Holly pour the coffee from espresso cup to a mug and add some water. Her boss specifically said black coffee and no sugar. Holly stir the hot coffee to make sure the water is equally distributed in the coffee. She take a deep breath and she can smell the warmth of the coffee. She want to make one for herself but she knew she shouldn't because it's late the afternoon already. Cat is a very responsible and hardworking boss. She can see it since the first time she came into the office.

It looks like her boss will stay up late again. She carefully brings the hot coffee to her boss. Would she sacrifice the same thing?
