annoyed - Story 6275 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The brightly colored posters in the hallway mocked Lisa with their cheerful slogans. "Teamwork!" "Innovation!" "Synergy!" She was being moved to the customer service department. She felt a knot tighten in her shoulders.

She dragged her feet as she walked. Her usual brisk pace was replaced by a slow, deliberate shuffle. Each step felt like a chore.

"Fantastic," she mumbled, staring out the window at the sunny sky. It all felt like a waste of her time. Her fingers itched for something to do, something to focus on, as opposed to the new department.
