Quiet But Stressful

Friday is turning out to be a quiet one. Client-related work is nowhere in sight for the time being. However, with the Dragon Lady running loose, unlike yesterday when she was at a workshop, my stress levels are up again.

I don't know why, but I dread seeing her. It seems like she's going to call me any minute and hand me some stuff to do that I have no idea about.

The other day, I saw her from the corner of my eye approaching me. I felt my heart beat fast. The instinct to fight or flight began to kick in. When she was in front of me, she handed me a souvenir pen from Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel. (Everyone got one, by the way.) All that cortisol for a stinking pen!

At the moment, she is holed up in an office talking to some suit. I feel safe — for now.
