Field notes
Gazette
Field notes from counts in Tbilisi and nearby halls: how to read a plate, how a warehouse Friday got an address, and how a floor should open the door.
These notes are from sittings and walks, not from a catalogue of advice. They assume a roster, a kettle, and a week that can be opened.

Idle minutes in a Tbilisi warehouse, written down
A dry-goods yard thought Friday overtime was weather. The map put an arrow on a dock the firm did not own.

Counting absences without humiliating the roster
Mondays can be drawn. Names do not have to sit beside the bar. A note from a packing hall that asked us to wait for the steward.

Why the plate is inked before anyone talks
A sitting without paper becomes a speech. The Kazbegi Avenue room still finishes the figure under the lamp, then brings it to the canteen.
