April 13th, 2026: What a unique day. I woke up to eat breakfast but I didn’t have any coffee grounds left. On the bus ride there was that Korean woman who always rides the bus the same time as me, usually trimming her eyebrows on the bus. This fat guy with sideburns commented that he couldn’t do the eyebrow trimming. We talked a bit and he’s going for a job interview at a grocery store but wants to be a private investigator soon. He got off then I did. I got into the office and had to help the Afghani woman with her computer not starting all the way up. I talked with the older Ukrainian woman about the bagels and then sat down to record:
“Good morning, everybody. How you guys doing? Good. Is it nice to be warm? All right, I have two quick announcements, The first one is: make sure that everybody uses their keyfob, for security reasons. Don't forget them at home. We need to really secure our front entrance. The front door is still being repaired, I believe, downstairs. So let's make sure that we use our key boxes to get into the building. If you actually lose your fob or misplace us somewhere, let us know right away because we can actually control the access to it and if you do find it, you can reactivate it. But if you lose it, we'll get another one, but try not to lose those are not cheap. The second thing is related to that, and that is we will do our active shooting training sometime midyear, most likely June, could be May, it depends on our schedule. We've got a lot of things going on at the executive level that's keeping us from coordinating that, but we're going to continue with that. [3 letter acronym] and [5 letter acronym] commented to me about three months ago that they like that we're actually falling through that training. So security is important to them, they care about us a lot, so we'll take care of that. And then on a related note today, I'll be leaving at 9:45. coming back midday to take care of some contractors at the house, so they're going to rescue my roof. I have a really serious leak going on, so Any questions on the train? Security mission sure, make sure you hang on to those fobs and use them. All right the Latinx lady.” - The CEO
“Thank you. Good morning. Happy Monday. We have bagels in the kitchen and there's zero calories. tables and like that somebody said, Gemerson I think you said that. So happy birthday to Tatiana and Adni. I think those are the ones in April, so happy birthday to you... Shima C. Where's there? Cool?” - the Latinx lady
“I think it's only Shima C and the older Ukrainian woman up there.” - the younger Ukrainian woman
“That's No, Ahwahn?” - the Latinx lady
“No. That's all I was told.” - Edgar
“It’s my half birthday.” - Ahwahn
Staples talked about her having family issues so she might not be here for a while. Mauer was out as his wife was in the hospital about to give birth to their baby. I went and then got some food from the kitchen, like olives with salami, cheese, and crackers. Tia talked with Threes about going back to the gym and Threes was supportive of her. I got back and worked on a spreadsheet for all the cases that one team has handled. I got to work on that before getting called over to deal with a spare keyboard and move it. A bit later Lillehammer told us that Mauer’s wife had his baby. I ended up eating some of the lemon linguine for lunch, I prayed for the guy on the bus to pass his job interview. I did a little bit more work until leaving for classes. I had to help Threes before because her mouse wasn’t working, I turned it on… I forgot my ID at Threes’ desk and grabbed it. I got on the bus and then to the busy building. I bought one of those frozen snickers bars. I walked around and at 1:35pm while walking a different route to my creative writing class. I spotted Asherah up ahead walking to her dorms, long ginger hair with glasses which made her stand out of a crowd. I got to my spot and put my backpack in the empty room. I walked down to another building to get a Rockstar energy drink and then walked around towards the art building to open it. Out came none other than Asherah and Zephyr walking in the same direction as me. I was fucked, I waved to see if they would freak out but Asherah waved back first followed by Zephyr. We talked a bit but I left early to not be a burden and almost tripped in mud. The class was actually optional so I left a bit early and went walking around. I joined Pen Guy in his evangelization while Urbino was there, he said it’s sad to see all the seniors leave, including Mahdi, me, and Stearns. At 2:50pm, the Seamstress walked past and Pen Guy asked her:
“Want a free pen?”
She said:
“No thank you!”
I left to write and feel like shit. I completed an assignment of mine and then walked back home after my algorithms class in the hot humid weather. I had to take off my socks to wash my feet in the bathtub’s cold running water quickly. I started this conversion with Hedelweis about her defending the Pope out of the blue on Instagram, to be far I’m also on the Pope’s side in the fight against Donald Trump at 4:16pm:
>I thought you were an atheist.
<I have never said that
>Markus said you were…
<Okay…
<It’s not my fault I wasn’t exposed to religion until this year
<So I really don’t appreciate the constant judgement of my faith
>Sorry
I regret apoligizing rather than just ignoring her freak out. I’m (incorrectly) judging her for being an atheist. I then went back to the Catholic center to prepare for my Bible study I’d lead. I walked over and familiarized myself with the FOCUS study plan only to fail when the actual Bible study came and I had to lead Telemachus, Sixes’ friend, and two others to understand the bible. I ended up having to read this passage for everybody:
John 6:52-59:
☛52 The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
☛53 Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
☛54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
☛55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
☛56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
☛57 Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
☛58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
☛59 These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
There was a lot of productive discussion on the state of the Catholic church with us there. I ended it 15 minutes early at 7:00pm and then walked home to make my leftover pasta for dinner. I took a shower without any shampoo. I prayed before bed, asking God to help convert Asherah to the Catholic faith alongside Lizzo, my mom, my dad, my sister, Margarethe, and James the Greater. I failed to go to bed until I turned on some brown noise on my phone and slept at the opposite side of the bed.
