This morning, Nick walked in with that calm, amused expression that only people who have seen creative catastrophe before can wear.
He placed a hand on my shoulder and said, “You’ve done more in a week than most do in a year. It’s also possible you’ve cursed the entire website.”
We spent the day undoing my “enhancements.” Cosmic aubergine returned to white. The MailEnchant spell was exorcised. The printer finally stopped muttering.
As we finished, Nick smiled. “Every apprentice breaks a broom eventually. The trick is learning what to sweep next.”
I smiled back, pretending I understood. But I swear: when I left the office tonight, the coffee machine whispered “unsubscribe.”
I’m taking my laptop home. Just to keep an eye on it.
