Jennifer, Your timing is extraordinary. At 9:14 this morning, our office printer declared itself a sovereign nation, issued passports to the staplers, and appointed a suspiciously articulate ferret as Minister of Data Engineering. We've narrowed our options to four: 1) Deploy Python. An actual python. We found one wrapped around the Wi-Fi router and it has requested stock options and a small bowl of warm milk. 2) Migrate to Java, provided the fair trade coffee beans agree to sign the noncompete. Negotiations are ongoing and frankly quite hostile. 3) Augment our staff with twelve geese in neckties. Legal says they count as one executive as long as they share a single trench coat, but the geese insist they're a naval battalion. We’re researching Maritime Law as we speak. 4) Schedule your 30-minute meeting, but only if it's conducted underwater, in Latin, and attended by the ferret's attorney. Please bring a laminated photograph of a turnip for identification purposes. Now here's where things get concerning. You mentioned Family Mart and Groupon. Those were the printer's exact final two demands before it swallowed the office lease and began broadcasting the Bulgarian national anthem through our HVAC system. It is not a faithful performance, and we apologized quickly to our Bulgarian neighbors. Jennifer, I need you to be completely straight with me. Are you offering software development services, or have you been sent to negotiate the release of the staplers? Please respond within 1–2 weeks, as outlined in your correspondence. The ferret has already cleared his calendar. Yours in escalating international tensions, Jack
