enthusiastic - Story 44700 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I couldn't focus on anything. My eyes kept darting back and forth between the clock on my computer and the door to the office. Every rustle of paper, every mumbled conversation, amplified in my ears. I felt a weird mix of excitement and unease.

I overheard a conversation between two people, and I instantly went into a state of alert. I couldn't quite hear what they were saying. I was desperate to know. I was sure they were talking about the promotion, the decision.

It was a matter of time. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for whatever was to come. I tried to focus, but the anticipation was overwhelming.
