ABOUT THE BOOK
Nothing was on fire yet. That distinction mattered.
Cal Mercer knows how to keep a bad shift from becoming a catastrophe. Find the valve. Name the condition. Do the next real thing. Then the mop bucket develops concerns.
At Continuum Operational Services, policies eat Tuesdays, hallways relocate, wellness huddles collide with actual emergencies, and the Continuity Desk starts behaving like it has plans. As forms multiply and reality becomes suspiciously procedural, Cal and his crew—Nia, Bree, Omar, and Ava—must confront an operation that feeds on everything nobody will name.
Cal can probably save the shift. The harder question is whether he can stop making himself the answer to every broken system.
The Great Operational Fuq-Nado is a sharp, strange workplace satire about competence, bureaucracy, responsibility, and the quiet revolution of telling the truth about what happens next.
