This is Patches.
She doesn't believe in time clocks. She believes in urgency. She has perfected the "Executive Plea" technique, a proprietary combination of intense, wide-eyed despair, a slight underbite-induced grin, and the persistent placement of a blue spiky ball upon the most inconvenient surface possible (usually a keyboard, or in this case, a Tartan skirt).
She doesn't negotiate with spreadsheets or deadlines. She negotiates with your soul. And with a single, unblinking gaze, she will convince you that this is not just a game; it is a critical, life-or-death deployment of the sacred artifact of the bounce. Resistance is futile. Play is mandatory.
