Boss wanted us to track our tasks. “Write down everything you do, so we know how long things take.”

Alright. Sure thing, boss.

8:01 AM: Turned on computer

8:03 AM: Opened email

8:05 AM: Replied to first email

8:07 AM: Replied to second email

8:08 AM: Took a sip of coffee

8:09 AM: Adjusted chair

By Day 3, the document was over 50 pages long.

Boss sat there, flipping through the endless log, his face just... kinda dropping with every page. At one point, he just leaned back, rubbed his eyes, and sighed like his soul was leaving his body.

Finally, he goes, “Okay, just… track important things.”

We all nodded. “Yeah, of course.”

Mission accomplished.
