It was 1' AM, and a young woman was falling asleep in her office. An embossed block on her large mahogany desk said Alexia Gross in an elegant, but legible font. Everything in the office was a tricky combination of fine, yet grand, highlighting her importance to anyone who might visit her office. Currently, Alexia's head was resting in her palm and she was staring at a document on her screen. The slow, rhythmic blinking of the cursor had started to put her to sleep. She had been stuck on her closing paragraph, unable to decide how to start it, and had made zero progress in the last hour. She glanced at the corner of the screen and saw the time and yawned. Seeing what time it was just seemed to make it worse. "Tomorrow, I guess." She said, as she shut down the computer for the night.
She retrieved her light jacket from the rack and turned on the security system for her office before leaving and locking the door. She walked by several doors - each containing a similar office - and made her way to the elevator. She didn't have to wait long at this hour, and was in the underground parking garage so quickly she idly wondered if she had sleep walked there. She walked to her car and felt around in her purse for her keys. She stopped and set her purse on the hood of her car, rummaging through it some more. "Are you kidding?" She said, the weariness clear in her voice. She started walking back the way she came to retrieve her keys from her desk drawer, her heels clicking on the pavement. "I may as well just sleep in the office today."
