The afternoon sun, which had always seemed to cast a dull light, suddenly streamed into his office, illuminating dust motes that danced with joy. He was going to operations! His spirits soared, a balloon lifting off the ground.

He felt an urge to shout it from the rooftops. His dull, drab cubicle now seemed confining and oppressive. He started pacing, a restless energy coursing through him.

He began planning the changes he could make, the new skills he would learn. He was ready to leave behind the spreadsheets and embrace the challenge. He wanted to meet his new colleagues.

He went online and purchased the books that would teach him about the new sector.
