Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I split my time between 2 offices - one is open plan with team tables and tons of natural light. The other, I have an office and no windows at all.

OMG she's so adorable. I know it's difficult to deal with, but seriously, I've gone all gooey.
