"The Business Card Connoisseur"

Caption: "Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness. It even has a watermark
- my paw print. Paul Allen's card from Accounts Receivable could never achieve this level of
sophistication.

"I've been locked in combat with the password hydra for 47 minutes. Each time I satisfy one requirement, two more appear: 'Must contain uppercase,' 'Cannot reuse last 12 passwords,' 'Must include ancient Egyptian hyroglyphs..."

"I've documented 47 elevator etiquette violations this week: loud phone calls, personal space invasions, and three people who took the elevator up one floor. My recommendation: mandatory elevator training or install a cat-operated system that actually follows basic courtesy protocols."

Caption: "They installed a new communication network in the office. It's faster than email, more efficient than Slack, and reaches everyone instantly. They call it 'gossip.' I've been monitoring it from my elevated position - turns out humans are terrible at data security."

"The Peripheral Problem"

Caption: "They gave me a wireless mouse to improve productivity. I've improved it by making it completely wireless - it's now somewhere under the couch. Meanwhile, I've discovered that trackpads work perfectly with paw gestures."

"They spent six months implementing a 'paperless office' system. I mastered document scanning in 30 seconds: sit on the glass, press the button with my paw, and suddenly I'm digitized. Still haven't figured out why this counts as 'going digital' but not 'working from home.'"

"The Office Hours"

Caption: "Humans spend all week trying to escape the office, then spend Sunday night watching other humans at an office. Meanwhile, I've mastered work-life balance: sleeping 16 hours daily and watching others work the remaining 8."

"The Mandatory Fun Consultant"

Caption: "They scheduled 'mandatory fun' for Saturday morning at 7 AM. I proposed an alternative team building exercise: everyone stays home, gets proper rest, and shows up Monday actually ready to work together."

"The Culture Fit Interview"

"They asked if I'm a 'culture fit.' I said I specialize in nap culture, snack culture, and boundary culture. Apparently, that's not what they meant."

"The Notification Nation"

Caption: "They invented 47 different ways to interrupt my work, then wonder why productivity is down . I solved this by developing 'selective notification blindness' - it's a highly evolved skill"

"The Performance Review Paradox"

Caption: "My performance review measures everything I don't do and ignores everything I excel at. Apparently, 'maintaining office zen' isn't a billable skill."

"The Quiet Quitting Consultant"

Caption: "Humans invented 'quiet quitting' - doing only what's required. I've been practicing 'selective engagement' my entire career. The secret is strategic indifference to non-essential drama."

"The Hybrid Schedule Shuffle"

Caption: "They created a 'flexible hybrid schedule' that requires a PhD in logistics to understand. I proposed a simpler system: I work where the food is, when the food is available."

"Dream State Sunday"

Caption: "While humans spend Sunday afternoon planning their Monday disasters, I'm conducting important research on advanced relaxation techniques. Current findings: fishing dreams are 47% more effective than productivity apps."

"Saturday Sanctuary"

Caption: "Humans invented 'weekend productivity' and 'Saturday errands.' I invented 'strategic relaxation optimization' - it's called doing absolutely nothing, and I'm the industry leader."

"Efficiency Expert"

"Day 1 of the four-day work week trial. The humans are trying to fit 40 hours into 32. I've been doing this 'work smarter, not harder' thing for years - it's called napping."

"Boundary Consultant"

"They said remote work would improve collaboration. I've personally collaborated on every email, presentation, and video call this week. Still haven't received a single thank you."

"Mandatory Relaxation"
"They scheduled my stress management session during my lunch break, my mindfulness session during my deadline, and my work-life balance workshop after hours. I'm too stressed to attend my stress reduction class."

"Monday Meeting Marathon"

Caption: "They scheduled seven meetings to discuss how to be more productive on Mondays. If I attended them all, I'd have exactly zero minutes left to be productive. Even for a cat, that math doesn't add up."

Superstition Station
"It's Friday the 13th and everyone's acting weird. Karen won't walk under the stepladder, Jim threw salt in the break room, and they're all avoiding the office black cat. Meanwhile, I knocked three things off my desk before 9AM and got a promotion."
