Marc's complaint about coffee turns into a complaint about being kept late for a transfer drill that never happened. He describes it like annoyance, another evening stolen by process, another set of approvals that behaved like they were allergic to urgency. The cash was ready, the approvals were not, and the whole desk apparently sat there watching amber boxes glow as if colour-coded dread were a normal part of a career. He thinks he is describing boredom. You hear structure: where money waits, where authority hesitates, where a firm chooses a story about patience because the alternative is admitting how tightly it is wound. You read his message twice, slower the second time, translating emotion into timing the way you used to translate customer rage into a ticket number.
