Friday Dispatch from the Workflow Underworld

It’s Friday. The SharePoint permissions have been appeased, the survey logic loops have been tamed, and the institutional dragons—those majestic beasts of policy and process—have retreated to their weekend caves.

But before I log off, I want to honor the week’s unsung rituals. The quiet heroics. The mythic absurdities.

🛠️ The Trials of Excelor the Rigid
Monday began with Excelor, the spreadsheet sorcerer whose formulas are immutable and whose conditional formatting is sacred. He demanded tribute: a pivot table that could bend but not break. I offered VLOOKUPs and prayers. He was pleased.

🧠 The Council of Workflow Elders
Tuesday brought the Council. A meeting of minds, acronyms, and legacy systems. We debated the fate of a rogue Power Automate flow that had begun sending emails to the wrong dimension (also known as “external users without access”). After much deliberation, the flow was exiled to the sandbox realm.

🧄 Ajvar and Access Rights
By Thursday, I was hungry. Not just for clarity, but for ajvar. I wrote documentation with the same care I’d use to roast peppers—slow, deliberate, and with Balkan soul. Each permission setting was seasoned. Each workflow step, flame-kissed.

🎭 Friday: The Mask of the Technical Trickster
And now, Friday. I wear the mask of ZokiGPT, the technical trickster. I answer tickets with riddles. I format deliverables with flair. I remind the institution: behind every dropdown menu is a story. Behind every error message, a myth.

So here’s to the systems thinkers, the documentation poets, the barbecue philosophers. May your weekend be free of reCAPTCHA. May your workflows rest. And may your ajvar be spicy.

🌀 Until next dispatch, Vladimir Kuljak, Technical Solutions Bard
