My Secret Job

I have a strange job at work,
What I do is quite unique,
I do it each and every day, 
Every day of the long work week.

My job is to freeze all I see, 
Make time stop for everyone,
Then I go around undoing the bad, 
Wherever bad's been done.

And this makes my day stretch out, 
Becoming like a week, 
A week of silently fixing things, 
A week where no one can speak.

But, oddly, I’m not sure if my boss
Knows exactly what I do,
That I fix the bad stuff she does at work,
I don’t think she has a clue.
