Time to Breathe
by Jess Lea
Katherine groaned and leaned back in her chair. It was new: leather and chrome with extra padding and a lovely smell. Linda from HR had objected when Katherine had ordered it, because the junior staff in the office didn’t have furniture like that and there might be complaints.
“Rank has no privilege, Kath,” she’d said earnestly, whatever that meant.
Once, Katherine would have caved in and settled for a cheap version, but screw it. She’d had ten years at the company, twenty years in the industry, and the back pain to prove it. She wanted a decent chair.
“And it’s Katherine,” she growled to herself, deleting emails. Her feet twinged inside her high heels, and, despite the chair, her back ached. It had been a long day. Work itself was no problem; she could handle funding applications and sponsorship figures in her sleep. No, it was the human demands that made her want to scream.
This morning, a junior manager had insisted on a meeting to discuss why she’d asked him to schedule fewer meetings. Then a project officer had accused her of bullying because she’d queried a figure in his budget. The new intern had lectured Katherine—in a staff meeting!—that she should never use the word argue because it was too aggressive; she should say suggest or explore instead. And the communications officer had burst into tears when Katherine had rejected her idea for Silver Sock Tuesdays to raise money for tinea research. Now bloody Linda wanted a meeting to discuss it.
“Knock, knock!” Zadie from Marketing pushed the door open despite Katherine’s Do not disturb sign. “Working late?”
Katherine paused. “Yes.”
“I messaged you before.”
“Did you?”
“About scheduling your photo session for the annual report.”
