Gremlin Resitas — The Quarter Tank Clause

Clock in.

Brain already at 75% done with everybody.

But we got that last 25% of sanity like:

“Hey… maybe don’t flip the table today.”

ALL SHIFT—

• “Where you at?”
• “Log it.”
• “Go get him.”
• “No—escort him.”

LIKE BRO—

I JUST SPAWNED HERE. LET ME LOAD THE MAP.

Meanwhile—

I’m moving, learning, adjusting—

NOT CRASHING.

Which is crazy…

CAUSE AROUND ME?

Techs dropping like:

“I QUIT—GOOD LUCK Y’ALL—”

POOF.

Gone.

AND I’M STILL HERE—

LIKE:

“Huh… so we just… do the job and go home??”

FAST FORWARD—

HOME.

Trash full.

Dishes washed.

Food?

GONE.

AND THE GREMLIN IN MY CHEST GO:

“Aight. We flipping tables tonight.

We rewriting the whole script.”

BUT THEN—

…that 25% taps me on the shoulder.

“Hey… remember?

Don’t burn the world—

just leave the room.”

…

exhale

So instead of going nuclear—

I:

• grab my own food
• clean what I need
• take the trash out
• mind my damn business

AND THAT’S THE PART THAT HURTS A LITTLE—

CAUSE IT’S NOT DRAMATIC.

IT’S NOT SATISFYING.

IT’S JUST:

discipline.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

THE GREMLIN AIN’T GONE.

NAH.

HE JUST SITTING THERE—

EATING POPCORN—

WATCHING EVERYBODY ELSE CRASH OUT LIKE:

“Damn… couldn’t be me.”

Addendum:

“You don’t need to be 100% calm.

You just need enough control

to not ruin your own progress.” 😏🔥

Yeah… that 25%?

That’s all you need.

Keep it alive.

The rest can snarl all it wants.
