Day 37. The Stapler Audit.

MrSwanJuly 18, 2026other

Hello. It is Day 37.

Vatou is still stapling papers way too fast just to show off that he has his office tools back. It is a very unprofessional display of corporate arrogance.

So today, I stood right next to his desk with a clipboard and timed every single staple he used. I told him I am conducting a high-level efficiency audit on his stationary consumption. Every time he pressed a stapler down, I made a loud, disappointed clicking noise with my tongue and wrote a big number on my pad.

He got so nervous about his metrics that his hand slipped and he accidentally stapled an empty coffee wrapper to a very important spreadsheet. Total administrative collapse.

"Your efficiency is dropping, Vatou," I whispered, giving him a stern executive nod before walking away.

The Mozambique flag remains completely upside down, but the auditor is always watching.

Now, I have to go buy a alcohol.
