It was a different time. Another era. And, evidently, a very archaic one based on this strange finding by a team of archaeologists during an excavation in Midtown Manhattan (after the latest massive flood subsided). Based on the contents of the diary, it was a very dark period for work. Or rather, what used to be considered work... We here at Dark Past, Brighter Future Laboratories took great interest in the diary, of sorts (though often more of a how-to guide for surviving the rigors and banalities of office life), when it was presented to us as a historical artifact of great importance. And it is just that. For only by reading through such a harrowing document can we realize how far we’ve come both as a species and in the world of work. Especially now that all such faux and monotonous types of labor have been passed on to the robots. According to the anonymous office worker’s diary, though, engaging in this breed of work usually does lead to a person becoming a robot.
