The sunlight seemed brighter, the office air fresher, as Sarah headed towards her new desk. The new department, the client relations division, held the promise of a vibrant change from her old role in data entry. A warmth spread through her chest, a pleasant kind of tingle. She practically hummed a little tune under her breath.

She reached her new workstation, and her fingers itched to begin. This was a chance to use her people skills, to forge connections, to make a real difference. Each desk seemed to hum with purpose, filled with team members who looked as if they were enjoying their jobs. She straightened her back, ready to dive in.
