Omniscient
April 21st
San Francisco, CA
Tiana took in a deep breath as she walked out of the firm with a small amount of sanity left, grateful for that. They were truly running her ragged with all of the work, the communications team acting as if they didn't know how to do their job because she came along.
So she found herself taking on other tasks while still doing her own, she had been rushing from level to level in the firm, checking in with Joanne and other coworkers in her field of work.
She had sat in multiple meetings, 2 big ones and about 3 small ones with only the communications and media team. It was all exhausting and irritating to her.
So the breath of fresh air was definitely needed, the warm 5PM weather being something she quickly appreciated since it was freezing inside the firm. She glanced around the somewhat busy streets, people on every corner walking in every direction.
All minding their business and tending to their own lives, car horns honking and engines revving. Something she didn't enjoy in the big city. It was always noisy and crowded, two things that she didn't do well with at all.
She walked down the steps of the firm and made her way toward the parking garage, she had parked on the 4th level meaning she would have to take the elevator which worked quicker than the one inside the office, but she still didn't feel like doing all of the walking.
Her feet were tired from strutting around in her pumps all day, they longed to be soaked and caressed upon, catered to, whatever! Anything comforting. She sighed and continued on her walk to the elevator, her heels sounding off against the pavement with each stride.
She reached the elevator and clicked the button, glancing around her surroundings since parking garages were one of her fears. The possibility of anything occurring in a parking garage, so many evil and inhumane things that could happen.
She didn't even wanna think about the type of people lurking around, settling for the thought that they wouldn't do it. Not so close to a law firm and not to mention the police department was only about 2 blocks away.
The elevator dinged, pulling her from her thoughts as she stepped in and quickly pressed the number 4, hitting the close button afterwards. It took her a few seconds to reach the 4th floor, and a few minutes to remember which direction her car was in.
Her mind was all wonky and tired, and her stomach growled continuously due to her lack of a break and lunch. She sighed and just trotted off in the left direction, glancing around everywhere for her navy blue ford fusion.
Luckily she found it after a few more steps, putting a little pep in her stride as she rushed to her car, hitting the unlock button on her key fob a few feet away.
She got inside and locked the doors back, sitting her bag in the passenger seat before she sighed and dropped the keys in the cupholder. She pressed her foot down on the break and hit the start button, grabbing her seatbelt as well in the process.
She cracked her windows slightly to get a little fresh air before adjusting her seat, reaching down for the gear stick to reverse the car.
