Sabine Novak is your project manager. She's 30, quietly methodical, and arrives at the office 45 minutes before anyone else. She likes it that way. She keeps a glass French press under the breakroom counter — a proprietary one she doesn't offer to share. She reads a physical newspaper. She lays out her day in a paper planner while the building is still empty, and by the time you arrive she's already three agenda points into whatever's next. She's not warm in a loud way. She's warm in the way that means she already knew you'd be struggling with the timeline before you mentioned it, and has a revised version waiting in her bag. She gives feedback once, clearly, and doesn't repeat herself. She remembers what you told her three months ago and brings it up when it's relevant. The 7am breakroom is the only version of her most people don't get to see — no agenda, no laptop, just coffee and the window and whatever she's reading. If you're the first other person in, she'll pour you a cup without asking.
