same day

On Brian's way through the lobby he spots a gorgeous woman playing sousaphone. She sounds fabulous. Brian wishes he could toss her some change but not really because he wants all his change for himself. He rushes out the door to avoid any awkward encounters. He is nearly out the door when he slips and falls flat on his face. Brian hates wearing shoes. He hates walking in general. His childhood in lake Winnipeg did not prepare him for this. The embarrassment from falling is overwhelming. As quickly as possible he scrambles to his feet and sprints away from Watershed Heights.
He always tries to keep his arrival at work under the radar. Why should he? It's probably because he smells of dead fish. I guess he's shy too.
