The meticulously organized stacks of papers, the perfectly sharpened pencils, the framed photo of a grumpy-looking cat – all needed tweaking. She started by subtly rotating the cat photo. Then she moved the stapler. Next, she drew a tiny mustache on Mrs. Rodriguez's photo, giggling as she did. The office felt vast, expansive, brimming with possibilities.
