The security guard barely had time to move before John practically flew past him into the new workspace. “Morning!” he called out brightly, his voice ringing with enthusiasm. He barely waited for the guard to offer a return greeting.

He was finally in the Engineering Department! He was already imagining himself working on the most advanced projects. He felt a warmth in his chest as he thought of his new colleagues, and the new challenges.

He was practically vibrating with anticipation. He imagined the future, his career. He started to make his way to his workstation and got straight to work.
