    The document describes a photo on the wall of the speaker's father's office of his boss, called "apo." The father brought work home and kept the photo of apo on the wall so it seemed like apo was watching over his shoulder, ensuring the father was working hard. The speaker, as a boy, was scolded by his father for sneaking around the office and told it was no place for children, though the photo of apo already felt like it was watching his every move like a "scary Jesus."
