After listening to Nate blow hot air my direction, I went back to my desk in a huff. I told myself that he was the boss. If he wanted me to finish a project before I left for the night, that was his prerogative. I couldn’t shake the notion that he was just making up work for me to do. I felt like I stepped into the office at the wrong time and he was lashing out at me for something someone else had said.

I shook my head to clear it. I was a professional. If he was being a dick, that was his problem. I would put in another hour to finish what he wanted done and then just leave. I didn’t have to worry about missing dinner at the shelter or catching the bus or even walking down the street in the dark.

I splurged for a parking spot with part of my first paycheck, so I was covered as far as transportation was concerned. Nate asked me to clear his calendar for the rest of the night. I didn’t know what he was talking about since it was the end of the day. But I didn’t want to argue. He seemed like he would bite my head off, so I just got out of there as quickly as possible.

That done, I wasn’t sure what else to do. I tinkered with the expense reports, making sure that all the columns added up. I highlighted a few areas and added some extra text explaining some expenditures. It would be easier for the finance team to categorize things that way. Other than that, I didn’t really have a lot of work to do.

I did some online snooping that I supposed technically could count as work. I looked Brockman Clothing up on social media to see what kinds of things they were posting. It was all pretty bland. They announced the sales that were happening and there were a few congratulatory posts about people moving up in the company. There didn’t appear to be any personality to the brand, just pictures of products and smiling, happy workers.

I played an online word game, flexing my mental muscles until the clock struck six. I looked at Nate’s door, wondering what I should do. If I just left, would
