For a long time Jenny just stared at the magnets. Someone at work had decided to start a magnet collection and every few weeks more would mysteriously appear on the fridge door.

So far they had collections of letters, buttons and even little glass dome ones. The newest ones were pebbles. Little tiny pebbles with traffic related themes. Someone had even drawn a road on the door.

Jenny wasn't sure why but the collection of road signs made her feel like they had been made especially for her.

Stop. Yield. Do not enter. Parking. It was like they were an illustration to the rut that her life had become. What had happened to the young Jenny who lived to seize the day.

When had she become so, well, stale? As she took her coffee back to her desk she ran into her boss.

"Daydreaming again are we Jenny. I swear if you worked as hard as you dreamed it would be amazing." Typical of her boss, you were never told you were going a good job, only ever bad.

"Well Mr Lynch, you remember the Jenny that first started here?" Puzzled he nodded at her.

"She's back! And I quit!" With the first real smile she had had in ages Jenny collected her stuff. It was time to get out of the rut.
