I landed the job at BLFCorp! I've been hired as the head for the R&D department studying and fabricating new formulas for their successful beverage line, Liquid. So excited about this new opportunity! I worked hard for this, I deserve this. I'm going to put so much effort into this job. I will make my mark within this company.

I got to meet the man himself. Brometheus T. Bear, the bear, the leader, CEO, I don't know... I just know he's my boss? Not sure I like how strict he is, but he has a vision and I want to be part of it.

And also, Donny needs to get his sh*t together. FIVE (5) MILLI LITRES!

Jun 7th

Dear Journal, that Brometheus is so dreamy. He accidentally bumped into me during routine inspections and O.M.G. his body is so firm yet his fur is so lush! I could imagine his warmest cuddles. I don't know what cologne he uses but I'm totally going to wash my bed sheets with it.

I'm not supposed to talk about it, but the test results are showing far more promise than projected. Administration of concentrated Liquid (Thanks Donny) is showing significantly increased levels of happiness and stamina. I'm really excited to share this result with the committee and I hope that Brometheus will love these results.

It's my birthday! My little Susie made me a card. She made it herself, I am sooo proud of her. I am keeping this right on my desk for everyone to see. Buuut, I might have to make sure it doesn't get tossed on cleaning day. We had cake at the break room.

Brometheus did not come.

Dec 20th

I haven't seen my daughter in 4 days because of work. Can't believe they have us working late hours yet again, but y'know, it's for the good of the company, and Brometheus personally asked us, so yeaaah. I can barely drink enough lattes to keep up. My hands are so jittery that I spilled a beaker of concentrated liquid on my desk! (Donnie left it there, I just know) Susie's card is totally soaked! Can only read about half of it, but oddly it looks so pretty now. Can't stop looking at it...

Dec 26th

Our routine shock treatments are in their 2nd week. The dimming lights and occasional yelp should be getting to me... Even though these people did volunteer -- I mean I hope this is all worth it. My only refuge has been this birthday card as of late... it just makes me feel happy... happy birthday...

Dec 30th

Donny brought me a stack of my lab reports this morning. (F*&#King Donnie) I had apparently written all the units in as Happy Birthday! Whoopsie... (Lol haha?)
P.S. I'm so proud! Little Suzie got an A on her happy birthday test! Just like her mommy.

Jan 5th

Bob from accounting asked me why I keep referencing "Happy Birthday" at the end of my reports. I tried to explain it to him, but he just doesn't get it! I mean, how could you not get it? It's so simple!! Look, here's a simple diagram. If he doesn't get it after showing him this, he's a clod! How should I reference this fact?


Jan 28th

Wow! Screw appendicitis! My Happy Suze is fine, thankfully. Admittedly, it scared me, but a week and a half later things are back to normal. Had to use pretty much all the happy vacation time that I had, but, y'know, priorities n'stuff. Heh.
Crap... looks like I missed cleaning day. They got eeeeeeeeverything, even my card :<

Jan 30th

I think I'm becoming my own test subject. I just looked over my happy journal the past few months and wow... I hope no one else sees this. Ha. I was surprised I was even able to work. I think I'm going to try to recreate what I'm seeing here in my journal since I have a laboratory and test subjects at my disposal.

Feb 14th

Been faking my time card for the last few days, staying after hours to perform some visual tests. I got some preliminary results, because - If this is true... Then... Well, what? Maybe liquid... Why would they make this into a drink? Are they aware of its properties? Suze and I have been drinking this?!? Not anymore... but, then again, maybe I can go back and disprove this.

Feb 19th

Found my journal open on my desk this morning. I wouldn't be that sloppy would I?

Feb 20th

Seen the same hushpuppy everywhere I go today. I have a sneaking suspicion this is linked to my journal being open earlier in the week. If rumors are true... this may not bode well for me...
Ha, maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Feb 25th

After hours. Third attempt at a resignation letter. Kinda hard when I can't really say why I'm quitting...

Feb 26th

Hah, resignation letter - That is not a F*&#ing option.
Grabbed the latest lab reports from my after-hours testing. The results -- they finally confirm my worst fears. It looks like there are definitely some hypnotic effects. Not only that, but they could give Brometheus unbridled power - he could make people do whatever he wanted.
Writing this from the bus, by the way. Just took the earliest one out of town on a whim. Suze and I left everything. She's curled up in a blanket at my side. I feel bad. She thinks we're going to grandma's. I wish I could revisit my childhood ignorance. I wish I could ignore my tests. I can't even imagine what would happen if this data got into the wrong paws.

...Shit. CEO and supreme leader? Huh. Makes more sense now. . .

Wonderful... road block, time to put up the hoodie.
