🎯 Day 45 — The Christmas Countdown Crisis

We’ve lost track of time. Literally. ⏰💀

The Great Christmas Countdown Clock froze at “10 Days to Go” this morning, and chaos erupted. You’d think the power went out — but no, it’s worse. The elves have entered *existential crisis mode.*

🧮 Productivity Plummets

Without the ticking reminder of doom, no one knows if they should panic or nap. Jingles brought a sundial inside “to restore order.” It doesn’t work. There’s no sun. We live at the top of the world, genius.

📅 HR Declares “Fluid Deadlines”

HR’s new memo says “time is a social construct.” Translation: they gave up. Pep used the opportunity to move every due date to “whenever.” Mrs. Claus said, “That’s not how calendars work.” Pep said, “Neither does this clock.” Touché.

🎅 Santa’s Solution

Santa tried turning it off and on again. When that didn’t work, he tapped it three times and whispered, “Believe.” Nothing happened, except the IT elves cried quietly into their cocoa.

The countdown’s still frozen, the workshop’s behind schedule, and morale is flatter than last year’s fruitcake. If time’s fake, I’m taking a nap — call it “temporal management.” 💤
