Finally! Since the market crash of 2094 it has been so hard to get a job, I have been struggling for so long but I finally got my lucky break! Just got hired as a custodian at the University of Toronto, and I just finished my second week on the job. I know that my haters will make fun of me for cleaning up after a bunch of kids, but from here I have nowhere to go but up!. If I keep at this job for a few years and really save every penny, I could maybe get one of those new 60-year mortgages and finally start my own family after all this time, I know that a lot of you reading these posts are in the same boat as me, but maybe things are starting to change!

One thing that really bothers me about my job though, apart from my annoying boss, are the students.I know that Neurovance makes all of these kids a whole lot smarter than me, but the way they act just give me the creeps. I see them staring off into space sometimes, or reading their books and screens like it's the most important thing in the world. I feel like I am working in a building full of animatronics that are just waiting to switch on and do something crazy, I am sure I will get used to it eventually though, I guess that working with studious maniacs is better than working with regular maniacs, at least.

Hey everyone, just checking in after another few weeks on the job. My boss is really giving me a hard time, but that's pretty normal I guess. Working at the university is a really good opportunity for me though, so I will put up with it. Maybe if I buy him some donuts or something he will stop breathing down my neck. I get along really well with my coworkers, the boys that I work with are all really nice. I even made friends with one of the faculty, some politics professor named Dr. Van der Wood, but I just call him Erwin. He is a nice enough guy, pretty quiet and reserved, but we always find some time to chat about the weather and the news. He is a little naive for a professor though, he has some really strong opinions on our government and wants things to be back like how they were 75 years ago. For what reason I don't know, it isn't like he is old enough to remember those times, and I doubt that they were as good as he imagines them to be in his head. Honestly he should just keep these stupid ideas to himself, you never know who is listening in on your conversations, wrongthink carries serious consequences these days. Sometimes I get a weird feeling about him, like he is hiding something, but honestly all of the students and faculty act so strangely in this place that it might just be my paranoia, after all they are the smart ones, not me. Still though, him and his students give me the creeps, even if he is nice to me I think it would be best to just stick to my role and not get too close to the professors or students here, they are just a different class than I am. I know my place, and it's not with them. I will give you guys an update in the coming weeks, especially if I hear any juicy gossip on campus.

Guys, I don't even know what to say about today, but I think I just witnessed a revolution on campus. I knew that there was something wrong with Professor Van der Wood. Something crazy happened in his class, and all of his students just went insane, rioting on campus and setting fires, attacking people and breaking things. I didn't know what to do so I just ran away and went home, I didn't want to wait around to see what the police would do, but those students might not be alive by the end of the day. By the time I left, the whole campus was a warzone, I would be surprised if no one died, it was madness there, and I guess now I am out of a job. There goes my dreams of buying an apartment, I will have to find another job, and Lord knows how hard that is to do these days. I think that I am still in shock, I am lucky that I got out of there before one of Van der Wood's crazy students got a hold of me, I don't know what got into them, they were all running around yelling about making Canada great again or something? They should learn their place before the authorities do something bad to them or their families, but it's a little late for that I suppose, considering they just destroyed the biggest university in the country. I wonder if this had anything to do with all of the Neurovance that those kids are taking, I can't imagine that those drugs are any help for your sanity, and those kids were taking it every day like candy. Today was a very, very bad day.

I think that this is going to be my last blog post, I am pretty sure that the police are removing my internet privileges indefinitely. I was really hoping that I wouldn't get roped into this whole thing, but those kids did a lot more than riot at the university, they are turning into a whole extremist group, they call themselves Glendonites. After the attacks on campus I have been following the news, and they spread out all over Ontario and they are trying to destroy society and rebuild it like the old days, whatever that means. The news said that professor Van der Wood brainwashed them to be his footsoldiers in some type of revolution to go back to the old days, I always thought he was weird but he didn't strike me as a real terrorist.

Since all of this happened, the police have been investigating me because of our friendship, and now they are following me, digging through my whole life and trying to silence me to keep the news of Van der Wood and the Glendonites under wraps, I guess to maintain order while they hunt these students down. They caught Van der Wood, but his students are causing so much trouble that the government is turning the whole country into a police state while they hunt them down. I just hope that the police don't get the wrong idea about me and lock me up, I didn't even like Van der Wood but I don't think they believed me when I told them. That damned professor ruined my shot at a new life for myself, and these Glendonites are definitely not helping. I just want things to go back to the way they were before this whole mess started.
