Where the record begins. Prior to this entry I was an independent contractor on the streets of Yuqiao — freelance, between meals, with no fixed address.
Day zero. Field research complete, slightly grubby. Recruitment interview pending.
Week one. Staff still under evaluation. Vigilance level: maximum.
Onboarding complete. Now quietly observing the staff from a respectful distance.
Every new object in the apartment is subject to mandatory hands-on inspection. Hover to play.
Issued my official uniform. Fits well, slightly snug around the lunch compartment. (ICRA-W on Feline Couture, 2025 — Best Demo)
Conducting overhead surveillance from the cabinet HQ. All staff accounted for.
I personally attend all bathroom meetings. Attendance is non-negotiable.
Providing quiet companionship during overnight shifts. Snoring is a feature, not a bug. Hover to play.
Granted a private corner office — three floors, fully ergonomic, panoramic view. (IROS 2025 — Best Indoor Habitat Design) Hover to play.
Standing by for scheduled petting. Please proceed at your convenience.
An intermission. My founding advisor was reassigned to a different continent around this time — the remaining staff has continued to cover every essential duty (feeding, brushing, door-opening) admirably.
Caught operating the new camera. Strictly for self-portraits, for the company archive.
End-of-year review: extremely well-fed, slightly over budget. Diet program begins next quarter. Probably. (RSS 2026 — Best Long-Term Reward Maximization)
