When the redhead left the building today, she had chosen one of her yellow tops, hoping the bright color would do good on her mood. She even had managed to get her hair dry for once before going out, most often it was still damp as she had not enough time to get it properly done and not look like she had touched an electrical fence or something. Getting to work meant for her, walking down the street for the better length of a block and down into the subway. The lucky part for her was, that she had only this one subway and nothing else even though waiting for almost 20 stops was taking some time. Right out of the underground she could already smell the best part of her way to work, in her opinion the best coffee in the whole city and she made sure to have enough money set aside to get 1 large cup each and every morning. The only downside was that by now she was pretty sure the guy at the counter was attempting to hit on her but since he likely was attempting that with all the women Brighid did not pay much attention to it. Instead, she walked straight out of the shop and across the street to enter the the tall office building the company she worked for owned.
Getting past security was no issue. The nice pair of guards both knew her face by now but she still had to hold her card next to one of the scanners, today deciding she was feeling more like the right one where the smile of the blonde woman was greeting her. Sometimes the redhead wondered if she and her partner took some drugs as both of them had the same smile each day and she never had the feeling they were faking their friendliness. Like every morning she walked into the lift and pressed the 15 and felt the gentle rocking of the lift starting and as it reached her floor that moment of butterflies as Brighid would call it. But, finally she had reached the office. The whole floor was staffed only by the department she was working for. Essentially it was a dull department, working out different statistics most of the time and preparing numbers and presentations for the higher ups, but it was paying her bills and by some miracle, her boss had managed to keep the department almost completely staffed by women which was pretty nice. And even the men her boss had been unable to divert to other departments were nice and not threatening. According to the numbers, the issue of harassment of any kind was the lowest in this department, across the whole company.
Brighid had barely time to fire up her computer and setting down the cup of her coffee she yet had to enjoy, when her boss called for, what most of them named a "Roll Call" as their boss made sure she was able to gather all her "working bees" for the morning meeting where she could give her speech. The speech was as usual a short summary of what they were expecting for the day and a few special duties were handed out. Today was special as she introduced a new intern as well and Brighid remembered that she had started the same way. Stammering in front of the whole staff, introducing herself and being made to carry folders for the first week. The dark haired young woman must be a bit overwhelmed and barely out of college and already accepted to work for a prestigious company, even if only as an intern for now but company policies would ensure that, if she was a fit for the team, she might get a full contract within the month or two. Only the payment was crap, but the job was rather safe which in turn was not the worst option to take and chances to earn big with a promotion or a nice bonus for a good week were rather good.
The young redhead was not given any special work for today and just dug into her day-to-day-work, digging through numbers from sales for a change and having a new face to talk to for a few moments. The hours were slowly ticking down until her time for lunch came up. Naturally not all of them were having a break at the same time but she left with some of her co-workers to visit the cafeteria for a good meal. It was a time when they could chat a bit among each other without summoning the wrath of their boss who was strict but at least there was no corporal punishment allowed since everyone was pretty sure, the strictly dressed woman would use such methods if she only could. One of her co-workers once had joked, that their boss could work as a dominatrix and no one would know any difference, which made all of them laugh loud enough to garner the attention from other people in the cafeteria. Work after lunch was no different from before, some presentations this time, or more accurately preparing some nice looking graphs which would be shown and discussed in some meetings. Lucky for the red haired woman, she could convince their new intern to get a round of coffee for Brighid and a few co-workers around them, from one of the automates of course, not the good expensive from the shop. With some extra coffee though she was able to make it through the day and deliver all her work in time, switching the computer off.
On her way out she gave the second pair of security, who were working on the late shift, a friendly wave and made a beeline for the subway. Sadly Brighid had to get out on the way and make a little detour, getting some ingredients or she would go to bed without food or ordering some takeout. She would have loved to visit the gym today to keep herself at least a bit fit, but both things where not fitting into her day. The detour took almost another hour out of her free time but after cooking her simple meal and washing the dishes she found it had been worth the time, even having bought enough for the next 3 days. Which meant, Brighid could sit down and read a novel. If it had been up to her, she would have a tablet to read them digitally but good old paper was just less expensive and so she was reading until late in the night before stripping down and crawling into her bed. It was only minutes until the young red haired woman was drifting off to sleep.
