Day 28/366

She tried to focus on the legal brief that was on her desk, but her mind kept wandering.  Finally, she slammed her hands down on the desk and pushed her chair back.  Gen grabbed her purse, then headed for the lobby of the office building.

"Hey, Julia, I need to clear my head for a bit.  Mark me out of office for the next 30 minutes or so," she announced to the receptionist as she breezed by.  Directionless, Gen stood outside the door and just looked around.

"I didn't realize we'd hired a doorperson," someone smarted off as they maneuvered past her.  That startled her into motion, and she made her way down the block, deciding to head to the park.  Maybe hanging out with the pigeons would give her something to think about...

...besides the blue envelope waiting for her back at her apartment.
