I had a spring in my step, the heavy feeling in my chest now gone. The simple act of organizing a filing cabinet, something I'd previously dreaded, now felt like a welcome task. The sunlight streaming through the windows warmed my skin. My new boss, a woman with a warm smile, beckoned me over, a new project already in mind.
