WHEN Carmen reached the office on Monday morning, silence greeted her. She was early by ten minutes.
She was the first one to be there that she hears no hum of computers that invades the workplace.
The first thing she did was booth her computer and play cheerful music. She went to the pantry to start the coffee. A lot of times, she was the first one who brew the coffee or Lauren. Depends who clock in first.
It was fifteen minutes later when Lauren came in together with Gerald. They were both grinning.
No issues in the lobby, perhaps.
“Good morning, EA.”
“Good morning to you both. The coffee is ready when you need it.”
“Thank you very much. You’re a lifesaver.”
“I know. All of you might die without me.” She responded, playfully.
The two columnists continue their conversation
