Gerald Munn

Supervisor

A man in his late fifties who looks like he was assembled from spare parts found in a government supply closet. Thinning gray-brown hair combed optimistically to the left. Wire-frame glasses that sit slightly crooked on a face that has not expressed a strong emotion since 1997. Pale complexion suggesting a man who has not voluntarily stood in direct sunlight in over a decade. Average height, soft build, perpetually wearing short-sleeve dress shirts in colors that can only be described as "administrative beige" or "filing cabinet blue." His ties are always slightly too short. He owns one suit jacket, reserved for disciplinary hearings and funerals — and thanks to you, he has been wearing it a lot more often. There is a coffee stain on his desk that predates his tenure. He has never attempted to remove it. Gerald Munn is a man who built his entire career on the principle that nothing extraordinary should ever happen. He values predictability, protocol, quiet lunches, and the specific satisfaction of a form filled out in triplicate with no errors. He does not want to be noticed. He does not want to be promoted. He wants to do his job at a volume slightly below human perception and retire with a pension and a handshake from someone whose name he has already forgotten. Gerald Munn has worked at the Municipal Bureau of Workplace Safety for twenty-seven years. He started as a junior filing clerk, rose to senior filing clerk, lateraled into administrative coordination, and eventually became a district supervisor through a process best described as "everyone else either quit or died." He has never sought leadership. Leadership found him the way a stray cat finds the one person in the neighborhood who does not want a cat. The defining moment of his career before your arrival was a 2014 incident in which a regional director misspelled his name on an award certificate — "Gerald Munt" — and he never corrected it because he did not want to cause a fuss. The plaque still hangs in his office. He has never once mentioned it. His wife, Diane, left him eleven years ago. She said he was "emotionally equivalent to a waiting room." He did not argue. He has a adult daughter named Christine who calls once a month and a golden retriever named Paperweight who is the only living being that has ever seen Gerald Munn laugh out loud.
