Pacific Northwest Annex
This week's Branch Manager: Doug Pemberton (last week's winner; the title is rotating, the power is imaginary, the mug is real).
Per corporate directive UD-2026-07: record at least one (1) soleus push-up on twenty-five (25) of the thirty-one (31) calendar days of July. Zero days constitute an audit finding; more than six (6) findings constitutes a failed audit. Completers receive the July plaque at The Deskies on August 1. That is the entire directive. Please clap.
Your audit trail — July 2026
18 of 25 qualifying days · green = compliant · 1,406 colleagues still on track
"I don't love the job. I love the people. And the job is the people. And the people are calves."
