As it was, however, he knew that his schedule was not something he could adjust. For now, he would have to keep up the habit of a lengthy shift rounded out by a night of dedicated study. Unfortunately this meant that he was constantly tired and perhaps even becoming sloppy in his role. It also meant that he found himself slipping away for a moment in a relaxation pod the moment his break started.

So it was with all things in consideration (and a comically large cup of coffee in hand) that he made his way towards the pods. He resembled that of a walking zombie, the lack of moaning and groaning was perhaps the only thing that distinguished himself from turning into one in entirety. Stopping as he reached one of the brightly colored pods, he knocked before peering inside in order to confirm it was empty. He hadn't done that the first time and it had served as a good learning opportunity, if nothing else.
Scott wished he could sleep during the day. Then he wouldn't feel so anxious and miserable most likely. He hadn't even been planning on going into the pods exactly, but as he was passing by, doing his rounds, he spotted Tomasz. "Good day, mate," he gave his fellow security colleague a wave. "Not feeling awake yet?" If he was rude, he would have told his coworker that he looked terrible. Terrible, tired, and puffy-faced.

Welp.

He squinted. "Did you stay up all night or what? Don't let Goldwasser see you like this...he'd probably...I dunno, be annoyed." He hadn't much interaction with the MLE head since being hired, but he had witnessed enough to know he didn't much like the man. He was huffy. Huffy and easily displeased. And the man's presence made his stomach knot up and his chest feel like someone was squeezing his lungs.

The anxiety only lessened once he was out of the Ministry's doors each day.
