Why is life like this?
Ten minutes after filing an electronic report on an evaluation, which notes some missing paperwork.... said missing paperwork shows up in the school mail.
Is there some twisted semi-omnipotent creature in charge of things like that?
One with limited powers... just enough to control ironic timing.
If I burn a few important papers in an offering, would it be appeased?
I envision a Pratchettian 'god', lika Anoyia..... maybe named 'Chumpia'.

Anoia - yes perfect. The minor goddess of Things That Stick in Drawers, Anoia is praised by rattling a drawer and crying "How can it close on the damned thing but not open with it? Who bought this? Do we ever use it?" She also eats corkscrews and is responsible for Things Down The Backs of Sofas, and is considering moving into stuck zips.
Could also be Nuggan, Formerly the locally worshipped monotheistic and omnipotent God of Borogravia, but elsewhere known as the God of Paperclips, Correct Things in the Right Place in Small Desk Stationery Sets, and Unnecessary Paperwork. He is now dead though.
