Mika presses the white tea setting on her electric tea kettle. While waiting for the water to heat up, she hopes that she'll actually hear the beep from it this time while she scrolls through her work emails. The end of her tail flicks back and forth rapidly as the raccoon hopes that no one will ask her to respond to a question or call before she can get to her work desk.

She grumbles as she realizes she missed hearing the beep again. The tea water is poured directly onto Art of Tea's White Coconut Creme tea bag and into her special tea carafe. Mika smiles at the images of her face and those of her kits on the side of the carafe. She sets a timer for 3 minutes and takes time to breathe in the steam. The raccoon trills at the smooth scent of coconut.

The upcoming work day is full of expected, unexpected surprises. Mika expects to hear from at least one client about a rushed payment that needs to go out. That happens at least once a week with her current set. Then there's all the fun AI training she's doing to help her team figure out ways to use it in their group. The trainings aren't too bad... at least not the IBM one. She'd like to have some words with the Microsoft training designer...

The timer goes off. Time for work!
