Chapter 11

There was a significant difference in the way I walked through the doors at 50 Thousand on my second Monday, compared to the first. For one, I was not so awestruck by the massive green-glassed building this time. I think it’s one of those things, when something awesome and amazing is under your nose for a long time, even it becomes commonplace. I’m reminded of my first time visiting the Statue of Liberty. Seeing it overlooking the New York skyline I was struck with a sense of complete awe and wonder, but some resident New Yorker friends who were there with me shrugged and rolled their eyes, having grown up with the huge green lady always there.

Second, of course, I was prepared and confident. The 50 Thousand Employee Handbook tucked neatly under one arm—I had begun to get in the habit of carrying it with me most places I went[13] at this point—and a cup of Apollo’s most caffeinated brew (“You aren’t allowed to have more than one of these in a day,” he explained, “Or you may literally explode. Yeah, you think I’m kidding, just watch”), I strode across the 50 Thousand Lobby, my shoes clicking neatly on the marble floor, and passed through the security gate with a smile plastered on my face.

I made it to my cubicle and took a seat, taking out my PC and booting up my computer. As soon as the desktop showed up on my screen I saw the blip of new notifications in the bottom right telling me I had an email. I took a gulp of my coffee (holy mother of God, if I wasn’t awake before I certainly was now) and clicked it.
