Operation Sticky Flagpole

Morning deployment began at zero nine hundred! I stepped down from the bookshelf outpost and marched across the rug to the low wooden coffee table. Right in the center sat a square block of yellow sticky notes. The objective was clear: plant a high-visibility summit marker on top of an upright ceramic mug without tipping it over. A single slip would lack structural integrity. I peeled off three yellow sheets, rolled them tight into a rigid paper tube, and crimped the base flat. I climbed up the handle, balanced firmly on the ceramic rim, and anchored the paper pole into the leftover coffee grounds with a clean downward thrust. Summit officially claimed!
