Another typical morning, getting ready for work. I have to be at work at 9 am and concidering the time I need to get ready and drive there I wake up every morning at 7. I work at a very successful financial company for the last 3 years. I started there as an intern, then they kept me and now I've worked my way to a good position. I can say I love my job. This is what I studied, this is what I always wanted to do. I love numbers and the fact that I'm working for a successful company helps me love my job more.
I wore a pencil black skirt with a white button-down shirt, a dark blazer and classic heels. Just the right amount of make up, my purse and I'm ready to go. I drive there and after leaving my things on my office I go to get a coffee. As soon as I sit on my chair I take a deep breath and then exhale to mentally prepare myself for all the work I have to do. My desk is full of paperwork and my computer full of files. I have a huge presentation coming up and I'm working really hard lately.
"Morning, Olivia" my coworker, Malcolm, salutes me when he passes by my office.
"Morning, Malcolm" I reply smiling and see him coming in my office.
"How's the presentation going?" he sits on an empty corner of my desk.
"Are you kidding? I have to present my work in front of all these potential investors, it doesn't matter how good it might be, I'll definitely screw it up" I sigh.
"You'll rock this, I'm sure. Besides, you still have enough days to work on everything and prepare yourself" he gives me an encouraging smile.
"Thanks for the positivity but I really have to get to work now" I try not to sound rude. Either way he's my friend, he knows I don't mean to offend him.
"I didn't just come here to say hello, I came to help. Do you want me to take a loot at your work so far?"
"That would be great, actually" I love the idea immediately.
"Can you transfer me the file?"
"Yes, just give me a minute" I look around for my flash drive and soon I find it.
"I need your honest opinion on this. If it's terrible don't hide it from me. I'd rather hear it now than during the presentation" I give him the flash drive when I'm done.
"Okay, but I'm certain it's going to be flawless"
"How will you find time to review my work? Don't you have tons of things to do already?" I question now that I'm thinking about it clearly.
"Don't worry about that, I'll let you know my opinion at the end of the day"
"If you don't have time leave it for another day, okay?" I ask and he stands up.
"I told you not to worry about it" he says leaving my office.
I turned to my work again and didn't even take a break until lunch time. This half one hour break with all the friends and colleagues I have here is enough to calm me down to continue the rest of my work. Usually I'm not so obsessed over work but this presentation has me going crazy. I want this to go great because it's a big thing for the company and it could really help me personally to be more popular and take more responsibilities here.
I barely had the time to do anything else than work. Phone calls kept coming more regularly than usual, tons of emails and my need to complete everything perfectly were keeping me busy all day. Soon the clock said 5 pm but I knew I wasn't ready to leave just yet. Malcom knocks on my door to catch my attention since I wasn't looking that way.
"It was awesome, I can't wait for the rest of it. Are you ready to go?" he asks.
Most of the times we leave together but like I said I'm not done for the day already.
