A stark contrast to the sterile grey cubicle she'd occupied for the past five years. She tapped a pen against her teeth, a small, rhythmic percussion accompanying the internal giggles bubbling up.

Her first task? Brainstorming a slogan for a new line of artisanal dog biscuits. She leaned back in her chair, the leather squeaking softly, a delighted glint in her eyes. The possibilities, as she saw it, were endless.
