The last-minute name picker

It was one of those afternoons where the clock seemed to slow down. We were all just staring at the list of names on the whiteboard, and the silence was getting heavy. I remember thinking, if someone doesn't just pick one soon, we'll be here all day.

The weight of a simple choice

It's funny how something so small can feel so big. We'd gone back and forth, each name carrying a different weight, a different implication. The pros and cons started to blur together after a while.I could feel the energy draining from the room. Everyone was waiting for someone else to make the call, to take the responsibility for the choice. It wasn't about the names anymore, it was about the loop we were stuck in.

Letting the wheel decide

That's when I pulled up the random name picker. It felt a bit silly, honestly. But also like a relief. We weren't giving up, we were just handing the decision to something neutral.There was a collective shrug, a few quiet nods. We'd talked it to death. Sometimes you just need a nudge from the universe, or a random algorithm, to get moving again.I loaded all the names in. The cursor hovered over the button for a second. Then I clicked, and it was done.
