Bolting out the door of my office, I rush over to the West Wing. I used to pride myself on being early for Simon's staff meetings, but lately, I can't seem to get there on time. And while it's easy to blame it all on forgetfulness, I have to tip my hat to subconscious avoidance.

Inside the West Wing, Phil's at his usual security desk, clearing people in. As soon as I see him, I turn my ID forward and lower my head. It's not that I even care about him calling the elevator--I just hate when he pretends not to know me.

"Hey, Michael," he says as I walk by.

"H-Hey," I reply. "Hi."

"Staff meeting today?"

Before I can even answer, he reaches below his desk and returns my most favorite of privileges. On my left, the elevator door slides open and I step inside. I'm not sure what caused the turnaround, but as the door slides shut, I'm happy to take the favor.
