Scandium got off the elevator on the floor where she worked. She paused to check her mailbox, the department's billboard, and the section's dry-erase board en route to her desk.

After sitting at her desk, she checked her mobile for personal e-mail and texts, her laptop for company e-mail and IM client messages, and her desk phone for voice-mail.

And then, Aluminum walked up. "Good morning, Scandium," she said. "Don't forget our general status meeting this morning."

Scandium watched her boss and crush walk away. If only there were a way for me to communicate my feelings, she thought wistfully.
