this morning #394.

this morning, his thoughts had already skipped right past breakfast & straight on to lunch. oatmeal as an afterthought. finely focused on the upcoming task at hand. for some time, business had boomed but then came the bust & he knew that he must turn things around, prove that the power lunch was back. the air was thick with stifling heat & humidity but he was determined to look his best in his brand new bonobos suit, make an impression. his boss had set up this meeting for him, knowing he had what it took to close the deal. he definitely did but his boss forgot to mention that the “alex” he was meeting with was a woman. his usual “just two bros talking” sales pitch would not work.
