Dennis could barely contain his grin as the call ended, his hands trembling from a mix of surprise and excitement. He had done it. He had actually managed to get a job. Suddenly, all those years of pouring over code seemed all the more worth it at the prospect of working for some big (albeit enigmatic) company. Granted, he had no actual clue of what his job would entail, but work was work and he wasn't one to complain.

[color=#a7e590]"Good news, Lafayette!"[/color] he crooned to one of his cats passing by. Dennis scooped up the cat, tickling the squirming feline under its chin. [color=#a7e590]"I just got a new job. Isn't this great? All I have to do is show up...at...oh no."[/color] Dennis' voice trailed off as he caught sight of the clock hanging just above his TV, it's long hands stretching towards 9:13. Tens of minutes away from his deadline. [color=#a7e590]"Oh no no no [i]no no![/i]"[/color]

Dennis dropped the disgruntled Lafayette one his couch, dashing towards his room. Fifty or so minutes to get ready and get going. He could do this. He stumbled around his room as he hurried to pull on a crisp suit and trousers, nearly falling on his face several times. In a few moments, with his curly brown hair in disarray and his glasses perched crookedly on his nose, Dennis was making his way past the stares of his three disinterested cats and to the door of his apartment. [color=#a7e590]"See you, Lafayette! Later, Montague! You're in charge, Ishmael."[/color] He fumbled for his car keys, for once thankful of the running he had been forced to do in his childhood as he sprinted down the hall and towards the parking lot. Practically leaping into his car, Dennis screeched out of the parking lot. Soon, Dennis pulled once front of the building and took a deep breath. Today was a new day, with a new job just ahead. He could do this. Probably. Adjusting his tie, Dennis slipped out of the car and walked into the office.
