Dust Bunnies

Complete personnel library

Every bunny has a file.

Twenty-five former careers. One new direction. A pack only carries five, pulled at random when you meet your team.

Margo, a cream rabbit loafing on a Pilates reformer with a coral paper headbandDB-001

Former Pilates Instructor

Margo

She believed in core strength before it was cool. Now she believes in overhead airflow.

Margo spent seven years telling strangers to locate muscles they did not know they had. Her classes were quiet, controlled, and attended almost exclusively by women named Susan.

She left after realizing her true gift was not alignment. It was circulation. She now approaches every rotation with a neutral spine and absolutely no small talk.

Current assignment
Core airflow
Status
Centered
Supervisor's note
Excellent posture. Difficult to impress.
Byte, a brown rabbit investigating a vintage keyboard in paper glassesDB-017

Former Software Engineer

Byte

Wrote elegant code. Now writes elegant air patterns. Still refuses to document either.

Byte once maintained a payroll system no one understood and everyone feared. He called the outages “unexpected opportunities for stillness.” Management called them Tuesdays.

After one unresolved merge conflict too many, he sought a role with clearer inputs: fan on, dust present, proceed. He has never been happier, though his face has not changed.

Current assignment
Airflow systems
Status
Debugging dust
Supervisor's note
Fast learner. Cache occasionally full.
Ledger, a lop rabbit inspecting adding-machine tape in a paper visorDB-024

Former Accountant

Ledger

Every speck is accounted for. Rounding errors are taken personally.

Ledger spent a respectable career reconciling numbers that had no desire to be reconciled. He kept three pencils sharpened to identical lengths and considered lunch an avoidable variance.

Dust offered what finance never could: something tangible to collect. His monthly close now takes one full rotation and ends without a single follow-up email.

Current assignment
Particle reconciliation
Status
Balanced
Supervisor's note
Methodical. Has audited the other four.
Kimchi, a white rabbit mid-hop on a diner counter in a paper chef capDB-031

Former Line Cook

Kimchi

Thrives under pressure. Has called the ceiling fan “the quietest dinner rush of my life.”

Kimchi worked the sauté station at a diner with a twelve-page menu and one functioning burner. She can hear a ticket printer from three rooms away and has not sat down since 2019.

Her new station is cooler, calmer, and beautifully repetitive. She still shouts “behind” before every lap. No one has asked her to stop.

Current assignment
High-speed service
Status
Mise en place
Supervisor's note
Unflappable. Brings her own towel.
Hocus, a gray rabbit standing on a small stage toward a playing cardDB-042

Former Close-up Magician

Hocus

Made a regional insurance adjuster disappear in 2018. It was mostly paperwork.

Hocus toured hotel lounges with a deck of marked cards and a solemn promise to restore your watch. Reviews frequently used the word “technically.”

He joined the squad for a larger stage and a more forgiving audience. Dust vanishes above your head. Applause remains optional but strongly preferred.

Current assignment
Visible disappearance
Status
Misdirecting
Supervisor's note
Great hands, statistically speaking.
Gale, a gray rabbit beside a weather map with a coral paper raincoatDB-053

Former Weather Presenter

Gale

Predicted twelve consecutive days of light chop. Management wanted sunshine.

Gale delivered the six o’clock forecast with the grave authority of someone announcing a maritime evacuation. A stationary front once lingered for nine days. The station suggested more optimism; she suggested different management.

She now monitors a smaller atmosphere with more reliable wind. Conditions overhead remain breezy with a one-hundred-percent chance of particulate collection.

Current assignment
Atmospheric monitoring
Status
Partly circulating
Supervisor's note
Accurate indoors. Distrusts warm fronts.
Sentry, a brown rabbit near a mall fountain wearing a flat paper security badgeDB-064

Former Mall Security Guard

Sentry

Kept the food court safe from loitering, unattended pretzels, and one very determined pigeon.

Sentry patrolled two floors, four anchor stores, and a decorative fountain no one was technically allowed to sit in. His badge was retired after he attempted to detain a seasonal kiosk.

Ceiling duty offers the same circular route with considerably fewer teenagers. He remains observant, measured, and prepared to call for backup that will not arrive.

Current assignment
Perimeter rotation
Status
Making rounds
Supervisor's note
Alert. Has asked to see Dust’s receipt.
Tempo, a white lop rabbit beside a DJ console with coral paper headphonesDB-072

Former Wedding DJ

Tempo

Can read a room, ignore an uncle, and transition out of the Chicken Dance without casualties.

Tempo worked one hundred and eighty-six receptions, all of which were described beforehand as ‘very low-key.’ A seventh request for Sweet Caroline ended both a reception and her tenure.

Her new set list contains one track: the steady hum of useful work. She still fades out every three months and insists this is an artistic choice.

Current assignment
Rotation programming
Status
Taking requests
Supervisor's note
Strong transitions. No microphone privileges.
Folio, a dark rabbit among archive boxes wearing flat paper spectaclesDB-081

Former Municipal Archivist

Folio

Believes every speck has provenance. Would like you to stop calling it clutter.

Folio catalogued parking ordinances, parade permits, and the complete correspondence of a deputy mayor who mostly wrote about lunch. When the archive went digital, he was thanked by an automated email.

Dust is simply history before accession. He collects each layer carefully and has requested acid-free storage for his eventual retirement.

Current assignment
Historical accumulation
Status
Filed under D
Supervisor's note
Impeccable records. Extremely slow shredder.
Lolly, a cinnamon rabbit by a crosswalk with a coral paper safety vestDB-093

Former Crossing Guard

Lolly

Stopped traffic with one paw and an expression that discouraged negotiation.

Lolly shepherded three generations across Birch Street through rain, sleet, and parents performing illegal U-turns directly in front of her. The district called her hand signals unnecessarily final and reassigned her to cones. She declined.

She finally found traffic that follows directions. Dust approaches from every side, merges overhead, and proceeds neatly onto her vest.

Current assignment
Traffic direction
Status
All clear
Supervisor's note
Commanding presence. Reflective after dark.
Corky, a black rabbit sniffing a wine glass with a burgundy paper neckerchiefDB-104

Former Sommelier

Corky

Detects oak, stone fruit, and a faint domestic note from somewhere above the credenza.

Corky could identify a north-facing hillside by aroma and a poorly washed glass from across the dining room. His last service ended after he described the house red as “structurally present.”

He now evaluates the bouquet of moving air. Recent notes include linen, ceiling paint, and a finish best described as overdue.

Current assignment
Air quality notes
Status
Breathing
Supervisor's note
Refined nose. Spits nothing out.
Chalk, a cream rabbit near a chalkboard wearing a peach paper cardiganDB-118

Former Substitute Teacher

Chalk

The lesson plan said movie day. Chalk saw an opportunity to establish order.

Chalk entered unfamiliar classrooms carrying two sharpened pencils and the confidence to separate students she had never met. Her name quietly disappeared from the substitute list after she replaced movie day with a quiz.

Her present class is quieter and travels in predictable circles. Every particle is marked present, then asked to remain seated until disposal.

Current assignment
Classroom control
Status
Taking attendance
Supervisor's note
Firm but fair. Fan has lost recess.
Beacon, a silver rabbit by a lighthouse window with a navy paper pea coatDB-129

Former Lighthouse Keeper

Beacon

Spent thirty years warning ships away from rocks. Most complied.

Beacon kept the lamp trimmed, the lens polished, and conversation limited to weather and gull misconduct. When the lamp was automated, he was invited to “explore shore-based opportunities.”

The ceiling post is familiar: elevated, repetitive, and mostly ignored until something stops working. He considers five blades an unusually social assignment.

Current assignment
Overhead watch
Status
Maintaining beacon
Supervisor's note
Steady in storms. Blinks on schedule.
Floss, a spotted rabbit beside a dental tray wearing a mint paper bibDB-137

Former Dental Hygienist

Floss

Asks about flossing in a tone that confirms she already knows the answer.

Floss spent fourteen years finding the one spot everyone claimed to brush regularly. The practice introduced whitening quotas. She returned her scaler before lunch.

Airborne buildup presents no such excuses. She catches what passes, documents the condition, and recommends a follow-up in one to three months.

Current assignment
Fine-particle removal
Status
Rinsed and ready
Supervisor's note
Thorough. Still judging your molars.
Whistle, a tan rabbit on a station platform with a blue paper conductor capDB-148

Former Train Conductor

Whistle

All aboard means all aboard. The dust near the baseboard missed final call.

Whistle announced every stop with clarity, dignity, and a slight disappointment in those still searching for tickets. When the route was discontinued, management offered him a bus timetable. He did not respond.

He now supervises a route with no delays and only one station. Departures are continuous. Arrivals are collected on felt.

Current assignment
Scheduled circulation
Status
Running on time
Supervisor's note
Punctual. Punches holes in excuses.
Petal, a gray lop rabbit among flower buckets with a coral paper apronDB-156

Former Florist

Petal

Could make carnations look expensive and apologies look sincere.

Petal built arrangements for weddings, funerals, and one product launch involving far too much eucalyptus. She left the morning the owner approved plastic peonies.

Her new medium is less fragrant but equally temporary. She gathers drifting material into balanced compositions no one sees until removal.

Current assignment
Pollen relations
Status
In arrangement
Supervisor's note
Excellent eye. Dislikes baby’s breath.
Pep, a russet rabbit on a seminar stage wearing a flat coral paper headsetDB-169

Former Motivational Speaker

Pep

Your ceiling is not a limit. It is, quite literally, his workplace.

Pep toured regional conference centers asking audiences whether they were ready to become the fan blade of their own destiny. Bookings slowed after a four-hour breakout called No Breaks.

At last, the metaphor has become employment. He converts intention into motion and motion into a measurable quantity of captured dust.

Current assignment
Momentum development
Status
Choosing rotation
Supervisor's note
High energy. Workbook remains unopened.
Qwerty, a white rabbit beside a stenotype machine with a black paper collarDB-177

Former Court Stenographer

Qwerty

Records every objection, aside, and suspiciously audible sigh.

Qwerty captured testimony at two hundred words per minute without once reacting visibly to what people will admit under oath. She retired the afternoon a judge asked her to strike everything since lunch.

The ceiling offers fewer interruptions. Each passing speck is entered into evidence and retained until the filter is formally dismissed.

Current assignment
Particle record
Status
On the record
Supervisor's note
Discreet. This conversation is transcribed.
Buoy, a sandy rabbit on a lifeguard chair with a red paper whistleDB-188

Former Pool Lifeguard

Buoy

Blew the whistle before trouble started, and occasionally before the pool opened.

Buoy watched the shallow end with the intensity of coastal defense. He could detect forbidden horseplay through mirrored sunglasses and three coats of sunscreen. When the pool was drained for condo conversion, he blew one final whistle.

His elevated post remains unchanged, though the swimmers are smaller and considerably drier. He monitors every lap without entering the airflow.

Current assignment
High-level surveillance
Status
No running
Supervisor's note
Vigilant. Refuses to rotate without sunscreen.
Patina, a black-and-white rabbit inspecting a vase with paper spectaclesDB-196

Former Antique Appraiser

Patina

Can date a sideboard from its joinery and your dust from its emotional weight.

Patina evaluated estates where every object was described as ‘very old’ and ‘probably valuable.’ She left when the owner labeled six reproduction sconces “early family pieces.”

Accumulation tells its own story. She assesses density, color, and provenance before assigning a replacement window with quiet authority.

Current assignment
Age assessment
Status
Period appropriate
Supervisor's note
Exacting. Your fan is reproduction.
Tally, a brown lop rabbit behind a hotel desk with a burgundy paper vestDB-207

Former Hotel Night Auditor

Tally

Closed yesterday, opened tomorrow, and saw what happened in the lobby between.

Tally reconciled room charges while fielding requests for towels, taxis, and explanations of noises from the third floor. The hotel replaced him with cloud software that could not locate towels.

Night circulation is peaceful by comparison. He gathers quietly while the household sleeps and balances the blade before dawn.

Current assignment
After-hours collection
Status
Balancing the night
Supervisor's note
Unflappable. Knows who checked in late.
Gambit, a silver rabbit beside a chessboard with a cream paper scarfDB-219

Former Chess Coach

Gambit

Thinks six rotations ahead and still cannot explain why you moved that knight.

Gambit coached middle-school chess with the patience of a saint and the post-game analysis of a prosecutor. When the program became a competitive gaming lab, she resigned before orientation.

Dust has limited openings and no endgame. She controls the center, guards every diagonal, and considers each captured particle entirely forced.

Current assignment
Strategic positioning
Status
Controlling the center
Supervisor's note
Strategic. Fan currently in zugzwang.
Scout, a large brown rabbit beside a trail map with a green paper ranger neckerchiefDB-228

Former Park Ranger

Scout

Knows which tracks are yours, which are wildlife, and which require a maintenance request.

Scout led trail walks, relocated picnic thieves, and explained poison ivy to people actively standing in it. A promotion to visitor engagement included a mascot costume. He disappeared down the trail.

Indoor conservation presents a compact ecosystem. He removes invasive particles while leaving the native ceiling entirely undisturbed.

Current assignment
Habitat management
Status
Leave no trace
Supervisor's note
Resourceful. Do not feed.
Caliper, a small black rabbit at an inspection bench with a yellow paper vestDB-239

Former Quality Control Inspector

Caliper

Rejected an entire shipment over a three-millimeter discrepancy. Slept beautifully that night.

Caliper inspected components no customer would ever see and found flaws no engineer wished to discuss. Management widened tolerances. He narrowed his availability to zero.

The present process is elegantly binary: particle captured or particle pending. He samples continuously and reports zero acceptable escape rate.

Current assignment
Continuous inspection
Status
Within tolerance
Supervisor's note
Uncompromising. Calipers confiscated.
Cue, a white-and-brown rabbit in theater seats with a coral paper scarfDB-251

Former Community Theater Director

Cue

Mounted Oklahoma! with twelve actors, one boot, and a firm belief in the process.

Cue directed forty-seven productions in a room that seated sixty if everyone exhaled. When the board requested Cats again, she closed the prompt book and turned off the ghost light.

Her new cast enters on cue, maintains formation, and travels in circles without asking what the motivation is. Opening night is every night.

Current assignment
Ensemble movement
Status
Places, everyone
Supervisor's note
Visionary. Notes will run long.
