ENCRYPTION LEVEL: THREE

I sent Dr. Holland home today after I found him wandering the lab mumbling to himself. He looked like he hadn't slept in days!I worry that everyone here is so afraid of disappointing ‘The Director' that they are pushing themselves to the breaking point. Next chance I get, I'm going to bring this up with Jackie. ------------------

Well, that didn't work.Bringing up the need for some office bonding activities with the Director only met with her usual stubborn insistence that we "don't have time for any fun".This is ridiculous. Tomorrow I'm going to organize something fun for everyone and Jackie will just have to deal with it. She just needs to see the long term benefits of short term stress relief to fully understand the importance of this. ------------------

I can't believe this! I organized a potluck lunch thinking it would be a nice break but Jackie discovered us as we were setting up and insisted that no one had time for "fooling around". Of course, everyone was too afraid to defy 'The Director' and went right back to work.All the food was just thrown out. Someone had even brought homemade perogies! Seeing the break room garbage full of potato salad and chicken wings made me even more depressed than before. Those perogies looked so good. ------------------

I keep finding senseless mistakes from stressed-out lab workers. It's getting dangerous. I'm worried this colony we're building will be plagued with these kinds of problems if we don't prioritize mental health as much as physical health. What's the use of making all these plans for the future if we can't build a better world?Maybe there's some way I can sneak some prerequisite downtime activities into the Printing Pod without Jackie knowing. ------------------
