I Became the Cute One in the Troubleshooter Squad

There’s a saying:

If you ever get to watch the filming of a popular comedy show in person, you’d find it unbelievably dull.

And it makes sense.

A comedy show takes hours of raw footage and condenses only the best, most entertaining bits into a tight, polished episode. Naturally, the unedited version can’t help but feel boring.

Perhaps life operates much the same way.

We endure long stretches of mundane, ordinary days, all for the sake of fleeting moments of joy and excitement.

Why was I thinking about this now?

Because life at the troubleshooter agency turned out to be far more peaceful than I had expected.

“Oversized helmets? Seriously, what’s next? Platform shoes for merfolk?”

I was mopping up a water-soaked hallway with a mop that felt too heavy for my noodle arms. The culprit? A merfolk client and their absurdly oversized helmet.

If their head was small, they could’ve just worn a smaller helmet.

But no—they insisted on parading around with an ill-fitting one, spilling water everywhere. What a nuisance.
