The news arrived in a quick, succinct email, and a large smile spread across his face. He felt like he was floating. Goodbye, Human Resources, hello, research and development. The old department was a graveyard for ambition.

He threw his hands into the air, a silent gesture of pure elation. He grabbed his phone and called his best friend. "You will not believe this!" he said when his friend answered.

He took a deep breath, and his chest expanded. Everything felt possible, easy. He would be in a lab, working on exciting projects. The prospect filled him with a potent mixture of confidence and thrill.

He cleaned his desk with enthusiasm. It was a fresh start, a clean slate.
