impatient - Story 70208 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The morning had already gotten off to a rough start, and now this. A small vein was throbbing in Emily’s forehead. Her patience had worn thin before her feet even hit the floor. The car was supposed to be a tool, a means to an end, not an obstacle.

Her boss was a stickler for punctuality, and she knew the consequences of being late. She clenched her jaw. She had a presentation to deliver, one that could make or break her chances of getting a promotion.

The scene played out in her mind, over and over: the blank stare of her colleagues, the disappointment in her boss’s voice. She wanted to scream. Now, a mountain of errands loomed ahead of her, and she had to deal with this first.
