A Peek Inside the Ledger
Inside, I’m muttering, “Please, just google basic math.” Outside, I’m the smirking
ringmaster, herding caffeinated cats while balancing a latte and a dream. My survival guide,
scribbled on a coffee-stained napkin, is my lifeline: Stash, Nod, Smile, Escape.
- Stash snacks—crucial for when the “granola bar vs. gourmet protein bar” debate hits
hour two and my stomach is growling louder than Sansa chasing a squirrel. - Nod warmly at the “aromatherapy diffuser for every cubicle” pitch, then shred it like
a bad performance review. - Smile like Sansa begging for treats, all disarming charm, so no one questions my
sanity when I veto the “team spirit drone” plan to deliver motivational Post-its. - Last resort? Escape into a spreadsheet like it’s a warm hug from Dad when someone
pitches a “magic 10% raise machine that turns frowns into dollar signs.” You gotta
laugh, or you’ll cry at the unbalanced ledger, budget barks, and beautiful imperfections of life.
