Congratulations on Getting Some Sleep!

People don’t realize how lonely it is to have knowledge. That’s part of why we all work here. Even furtive knowledge of the future makes you feel isolated from people. Our office parties, as a result, rarely feature loved ones. We’re tough people to be in relationships with, and the few with significant others know better than to bring them around the office where we can see how they die or who they had sex with last and then blurt it out to the whole room.

But knowledge of the entire world? All distilled into one mind at one time? Well, that’s just got to suck the royalest of balls. So we totally understand why you have trouble sleeping and why you spend all that time doing speed and smoking weed and doing as much as you can to alter your perceptions so everything seems a little less clear than it really is for you.

That’s why we’re going to be so happy for you today when, for a forty five minute interval, you finally pass out and get some sleep.

It will be blissful, if brief, the first rest you’ve had in years and years. Enjoy it while it lasts, because once you awake again you’ll be thrust back into the living hell that is your omnipotent, joyless existence.

Congratulations on Getting Some Sleep!
