Somewhere on every remote team there is a quiet ledger nobody admits to keeping. It is the list of who turned on at nine, who turned on at five past, and who has somehow been on at 9:01 for three years straight. This is a work from home sweatshirt for that last person.
The artwork is the status line at full size. One oversized presence dot, the word Active beside it in a heavy modern sans with round open counters, and beneath it a lighter row that says exactly as much as it needs to: since 9:01. Two flat spot inks, one perfect circle, no app, no avatar, no window, nothing borrowed from anyone's screen.
Made for the long-sleeve months, when the laptop opens before the heating has caught up.
It goes to the coworker whose dot is famous for its timing, the partner who logs on from the kitchen in a dressing gown and a headset, or the friend who treats one minute past as a principle. Bought for yourself first, then for whoever noticed the minute.
Technically on time.
