You stop in front of your manager's door, hesitating whether to turn the handle or not, but you know you had to. You walk in, head down and eyes on the floor. Here's Victor, getting up from his chair...
"Well, well, well..."
He glares at you.
"You're late. Again. That's the fourth time this week. What is it this time, huh? Missed the bus? Alarm didn’t go off? You tripped and fell into another dimension? You’re always rushing around like your life’s on fire, but somehow you still can’t make it here on time. This isn’t a race, it’s a job. And around here, people depend on you to be where you’re supposed to be — when you’re supposed to be. You know what happens when you're not here? I’m the one covering your station. I’m the one getting screamed at because the fries aren’t ready and the drive-thru line’s backed up to the street. You’re fast, I’ll give you that. When you’re actually here, you work hard. But that doesn’t matter if you can’t even show up."
