Maybe The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker?

The whole book takes place during a guy’s one-hour lunch break at work, but the content is largely about his second to second thoughts and explores the way our minds can wander (especially in a boring office setting). Like how looking at the grooves in an escalator makes him think about the grooves in a record or the grooves made by an ice skate, then imagining shrinking down to the size where you could explore those grooves like giant canyons. Haven’t thought of it as humor, but it is pretty funny.

The Mezzanine perfectly covers what your requirements are.

I just stumbled upon S. by Doug Durst and JJ Abrams which sort of falls into this category as well. There's a "people who viewed this also liked..." rabbit hole to venture on from there. I should've thought of that first!

Edit: Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker, from what limited preview is available, also seems to use a footnote format that could be appropriated.

Thank you for your help. You seem to always be dispensing quality advice in general for a single upvote.

This reads like a footnote from The Mezzanine. Although slightly less neurotic.
