MY LUCKY BAMBOO IS dead. I’ve been trying to save it for
weeks, but the thick stalks are squishy and lifeless. The brittle
yellow leaves crumble between my fingers and scatter across the drab gray
carpet in my cubicle. Considering it’s the fourth species of indoor plant I’ve
tried and failed to keep alive in the last six months, it’s past time to admit
defeat.
Testing the water’s pH and adjusting the acidity levels didn’t help. It must
be these harsh fluorescent lights. Too bad I’m the new kid on the block with
a desk smack in the middle of an open office wasteland, miles from the
closest window and years, if not decades, away from a window office.
I dump the contents of the vase in the trash bin in the break room and
stare at the empty glass container. Maybe, I should toss it, too, but I don’t. I
hold on to it, gripping tight, because throwing it in the can would mean
acknowledging I won’t try again. And giving up goes against every fiber of
my being.
“Kate,” my boss says, shuffling in and heading straight to the coffeepot
with his I take weather cirrus mug. “Just the girl I’m looking for.”
“Good morning,” I reply, snapping to attention and summoning every last
ounce of willpower to resist pointing out to the man old enough to be my
grandfather that I’m a twenty-six-year-old college-educated scientist and
would prefer not to be referred to as a girl.
Because I’ve been there and tried that. Even went to human resources,
which was a dead end in this government agency with enough red tape to
stretch to the moon and back.
