UNKN UNIT

CHAPTER ONE

128-2253

Today I felt happy. I guess I feel happy. More like a thankful happy but not quite content if that make sense. Im not sure if the two are related but it feels like they ought to be,,,anyhow...

I guess im just trying to get used to this writing thing my Internal Analyst says will be good for me. I have trouble staying focused and often im down right unpredictable see...

I guess im supposed to use the writing as a way of focusing or, gaining clarity rather, as she says anyhow; on just exactly what is is that's botherin me on account'a me writing down all the different things in my day. He says itll give me clarity of purpose and build discipline. I guess the only reason im writing writing about this is because writing is like this is illegal. With pen on paper I mean; not using an uplink. If anyone finds out im doing this I could get in a lot of trouble. He could too. I hope this helps me. Anyways back to why today was a good day. I had trying to get something working at the factory today. Something ive been working on for some time. Say maybe 200 days. Since 2252; 248-2252 I think. I wasn't happy because the process worked I was happy because my dad seemed proud that I had solved the issue. I felt like that was weird at first and then I almost felt offended or patronized I guess. The more I thought about it the; the feeling shifted into a confusion. I was wondering why it didn't just make me happy too. But then I realized this was the thing my focus trainer was talking about the something I needed to make me feel something so I could get perspective on anything. I had been feeling nothing or more like a hollow fine for so long. That's why I started seeing him. I want to be happier so I can have more confident and live up to all the expectations people have about me. So I guess it was maybe even a sad happy day but in a good way. I guess writing this out does give clarity but im not sure on what.

I have to be at the factory early tomorrow so I can go over the plans for the new machines with the industrial agent. now that I figured out what the problem with the prototype was we can pay the taxes to file the applications. Then we can pay for the license for building modification and the increased productivity and fair competition taxes.

CHAPTER TWO

133-2253

So I think I actually do like this writing habit. I learned a bit about it from the only person I know that I could talk to about it without worrying they will tell others. He knows many things about the time before the Great War. He knows things about the Old Arts and the Old Practices. He says that this manual cataloging, or typing as he called it, was actually considered to be one of the Old Arts! It has always been an interest of mine. The Old Arts. Ive never understood why people would go through so much trouble to express themselves. I guess I still don't. im interested in it at least I guess. My friend said that many people used to write. Many people wrote things about nothing all the time. Some every day even. When I heard that I thought to myself well they must have been writing their thoughts just as im doing now. That's when I realized the difference between this typing and using an uplink for cataloging. I realized that some of the things I had cataloged before I may shouldn't have been able to with the uplink. Might have even gotten a fine for social disruptions. Im not sure why but I don't seem to mind the risk. Even if I got a maximum sentence of a year I don't think I care. I like that it has to be a secret. It really makes me very curious about the rest of the old arts. Particularly the music and how they made it. I cant imagine what the devices and procedures were. I guess theres a certain freedom to doing things the hard way. Maybe the Old Ways weren't so hard after all. I think I will start manually cataloging everyday. About anything I guess. what happens mostly. I often don't find my thoughts very interesting but most times I can find an interest in others. Today I was finally able to hire my Catalogs and Duties aid so that I don't have to spend so much time with business catalogs. I was on the waiting list for almost 50 days before she became available for hire. The tax the company paid for the hiring license was nearly 10% of her life value. I couldn't believe it. Shes fully licensed and filter bonded so theres no way the company can be liable for catalog errors or failures in duty. We almost lost everything last year after that unlicensed Social Obligations girl miscategorized that report. Required to accept her vonlunteer work but she is not responsible for her mistakes as a volunteer. It really makes me loose my focus. That's definitely not happening again. The only thing im worried about is the new machines being delivered and assembled correctly. We don't have the environmental credits to have them rebuilt for over 750 days that's almost 2iM. Heck that's more than 2cM. if anything is a problem we will be finished and out of business for sure.
