Michael practically vibrated with anticipation as he walked into the office, his colleagues greeting him with friendly smiles. He had spent months writing a complex article about the intersection of technology and art, and today it was finally scheduled to go live on the company blog. He felt like a coiled spring, ready to release all of his pent-up energy.
