Strolled through the office parking lot, watching people exit like cast members from a play I never got an invite to; kept a joke tucked under my tongue, hoping it’d land like a punchline in a show that never aired. Irony keeps me from tripping over the daily grind, but it’s just a mirage when the manager announces another “team‑building” activity that feels less like bonding and more like forced audience participation. I’m perched on the edge of my desk, counting minutes until the fluorescent lights flicker again, because if the glow fails, at least my sarcasm can still be on standby. This fleeting patience is my own brand of self‑preservation against the fleeting fame that comes from being the office joker. Still, I can’t help but wonder if people actually hear the humor or just applaud the theatrics. #OfficeLife #CynicalObservations 🤔
