Sigrid's heeled boots clacked on the floor as she made her way down the corridor to her place of work...her very first place of work in the Ministry. She stopped just outside the door and pushed her long, dark red hair behind her shoulders, and took a deep breath.
"Don't be nervous." Sigrid told herself quietly and stood up straighter, trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach. 'It's going to be good...it will be just fine.' With another breath she opened the door and took a couple steps into the work room, she was taken slightly by surprise. It looked a lot more fun than she imagined it to be. It wasn't all stuffy and uptight looking and crazily neat.

The young woman spotted an empty desk near one corner of the room and approached it. As she did so, she acknowledged the other people who were already in the room; it was most appropriate to be extra polite today, as it was Sigrid's first impression, and since the other employees were here before her.
Sigrid smiled and nodded her head to them in greeting and added a kind, "Hello." As she continued towards the empty desk.

'A bit smaller than my desk at home.' Sigrid thought and placed her small backpack on top of it, and took out numerous filing supplies and books and writing material. It was best to get organized fully before any work came along.
