"Ok" you say, putting your tiny hands on your tiny hips. "I'm up on the third floor. I don't have any idea if any of my coworkers are on this floor. I know Jessi is on the second floor, but by the time I find a way to get down there, she'll probably have left for dinner. So I need to find help."
But... who would help you? You're paralyzed by indecision as you think about the possibilities. On one hand... you might find one of your coworkers in this building. You know you've got at least two other members from your team - that is, they are your subordinates who work for you - and you think there is at least one other team lead who got assigned to this building. But you aren't sure if they've even arrived yet, or if they're on the premises. You didn't see anybody as you came up to your room, and the company didn't list any of your coworkers locations in the itinerary email they sent you. Or did they? Turn back up to the glass table and stare up at your phone, longingly. If only you could check it.
And on the other hand... are you sure you want to find one of your coworkers? You and your coworkers are jovial enough in professional contexts, but you have no doubt your subordinates hate your guts. Who doesn't hate their manager? You're not sure you'd like to find out what might happen if a disgruntled subordinate got their hands on you. At best? They might cause you to "disappear" so they can snag a promotion and get your job. At worst?
No, no. Put that thought out of your head. you think to yourself. Better to find a stranger, maybe. You think back to your childhood, when your mom used to lecture you whenever she took you on errands at the shopping malls. She always used to find a public, visible spot - like a flagpole - you were supposed to head to if you ever got lost. That way, you'd find your mom waiting there for you, or you'd wait there for your mom. Unfortunately, that advice isn't particularly helpful in this scenario. What else did she say? Always find a mother with a child present. While that might have been good advice when you were six or seven, you quickly cross that option out. You decide it's probably unwise to be near any kids at this size.
Ok, so none of that "lost kid" advice is going to help you right now, you decide. But who can you trust at this size? You hope there are other professionals in the area, and decide to see if you can find a nice-looking businesswoman who can help you, but you'll take who you can get. You're not sure you want to approach any men, and you definitely don't want to approach anybody who seems like they won't take your plight seriously.
You turn away from the table. You've got no time to lose, here, if you want to find someone before someone finds you.
