Pendulum lived a comfortable routine for an up and coming efficiency company in Manehatten. That routine was shattered when he was sent to a new client that could put them on the map.
A little town called Ponyville.
Oh sure they had sent their request late giving Pendulum only a day to get there and organize a schedule. Sure the records they sent were disorganized at best. Sure they hadn't come close to succeeding for over 70 years. But really, how difficult could it be?
Pendulum would soon come to regret those words...

3781775 Yep, been talking about it for a while and I finally got the nerve to do it! Please let me know what you think. (Also, I want to apologize to both of you for not getting to your stories yet. THAT WILL CHANGE TODAY!)
3781795 gut instant is key sometimes...
Question: is this before Twilight shows up? Because they seemed to have gotten better after she took charge.
Also, there is no way this guy is going to succeed. The town doesn't want his help. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
3781863 Yeah it takes place before Twilight shows up,about a year or two I'd say.
So yeah, he's doomed by canon but it should be a fun ride. Are you enjoying the ride so far?
Good start - can't wait for the next chapter!
New head-cannon added.
He will come to regret blowing off Fluttershy.
Pendulum is so arrogant that it's hilarious. Pinkagnito was really good, too. I need a paper-thin alter ego now, too!
4575522 I'm really just surprised no one thought of the nickname earlier.
Now I feel bad for him. No wonder he's grumpy all the time. Can't hear the music.
4598512 Well, I thought what could be the saddest thing to afflict something in the pony universe. Since music is so integral to the show it seemed the most logical (short of some grim dark thing) to use.
(That and I love the idea of a confused observer in a musical universe)
I'm waiting for the Pendulum and Mayor face off. I can see it getting quite... Heated.
A few grammar derps in there, none too distracting. Glad you finally got this out, now mush!
