41 clicks. Not too shabby.
I step into the elevator and press the button to the 11th floor. There's a part of me that is always so tempted to press all of the elevator buttons, but I would probably end up in a body bag. Lawyers don't mess around.

The elevator doors open.
Here we go again.
When I reach my desk, I see the lights on in Andrew's office. Something tells me I'm not going to be the first one here in the morning anymore.
I have about 15 minutes before the other employee's start making their way in. I usually use this time to make a detailed to-do list for what I have to complete for the day. I try to do as much as I can to take any tasks off of the boss's list than I can do easily to save him some time.
Today I need to call the IT department and have them fix some of the computers on this floor. Many of us have been having problems accessing documents and sending emails. Then I need to start scheduling conferences and travel arrangements for Andrew, as he will soon have to travel to England to visit the sister branch there and introduce himself formally to them. I also need to start the newsletter for next month. Dang my list is getting long.
A few minutes pass, and as my list gets longer, more people start to take their seats for the day.
"Hey girl!!!!!!"
Oh God. I don't even have to look up to know exactly who it is.
"Hi Trevor." I say not looking up from my computer.
"How did you know it was me!?" he looked at me with a bewildered look on his face.
"Lucky guess?" I reply with a straight face.
"No need to get sarcastic, I was just coming to say hello."
"Good morning Trevor. Now, you should really get to work!"
"Fineeeee" He drags out the word just like Rose does when she's about to do something she doesn't really want to do.
Oh dang, I forgot to tell him about our computer problems.

Trevor:
>Well looky here, I thought you had to work.
Kate:
> I am. That's why I'm messaging you.
Trevor:
>Well.... get on with it then.
Kate:
> I'm going to need someone from the IT department up here to fix some computers.
>We've been having some issues loading documents and sending emails.
Trevor:
> And here I thought you were actually curious of my well-being.
Kate:
> I do care for your well-being! But you're the head of the IT department, who else would I go to for computer help?
Trevor:
>Your wish is my command,it shall be done by 2 o'clock.
