Every day I rush to work — a rat in a race of all mankind. Sweating, pushing, shoving, I hustle to the office to get there on time. After I grab the morning coffee I always notice "Mark" with his jacket on, heading OUT of the office. I'm trying to focus and get my day started while Mark has a different plan in mind.
