<p>You knock waiting to be let in, through the frosted glass you see Sarah rushing to finish her sentence before she focuses her attention on you. Finally the door opens and you find your seat tucked in the furthest corner of the room. Sarah begins the meeting “so Harry, how is work going?” </p>
<p>You pause, a little worried “There seems to be a lot more files to remove than we originally thought.” You try to gauge your manager’s reaction, then continue. “I’m honestly not sure we’ll meet our predictions of under a week at this rate.”</p>
<p>Sarah’s brow furrow “See what you can do, I’ll check up on you tomorrow.”</p>
<p>You leave a little more shaken than when you went in, it was bad luck really that the week after you started your internship the company had been bought out.</p>

<p>Head throbbing you move quickly into the kitchenette towards the supply of caffeine.

<p>“Heya Harry, I thought you might have gone home. Come in, come in. Now Sarah has spoken to me about how much work we have got on at the mo, and it doesn’t look good.
