Diaries from the Multiverse: Energy station attendant

Another diary from a soul living in the multiversal community with origins on Earth-001

August 27, 2318

 

I haven't written in my diary for some time now, but felt that today is prolly as good a time as any.  Of course, everyone will know of this date, not for me, but for the ship they just launched, the new "Multiverse-1".  Apparently, all the hype about exploring other universes parallel to our own wasn't really science fiction as they once thought.  I'm only forty-two, and I know that early in my childhood, such dreams were fantasy, they all made jokes of it, ran their otheruniversal advertising campaigns, complete with dancing big eyed jellyfish.  Sick stuff, but no worse than the religious movement that said we were toying with "god", then it was buddah, and a few others that I can't remember all that well.  Here lately, the religious nutballs have been quelled, aparently permanently by the government.  The last shreds of hummanitys fixation on death seems to be over.  Now we are supposed to look to the multiverse for answers, but what do we expect to find? 

I'm pretty convinced we're not going to find much of anything, other than the same dull stuff the older ships found here in our own universe.  Its really hard to be really cheery, what when you know you can do something better, but because of stupid choices in your youth, you're stuck in a hellhole like this one.  Look at me, I'm forty-two, and working as an energy station attendant, something machines can do, but of course, people want a human touch.  Of course, no boss ever comes to see me, I simply man the counter, say hello and goodbye, machines get everything else.  No job in the history of man could be any lower than this, as the looks I get from some people are plainly saying "Oh my god, look at that looser, ha ha he's in a uniform", "I'm not saying hello you piece of scum".  I'm a human too you morons, but in this system, I'm disposable, as there's always another person to replace me, one as eager as I was at first.  

What I wouldn't give to be on that ship, with a real working transuniversal jump drive..I mean that sucker can hop right out of our universe from a single spot, then travel in a space that apparently, from what they say, actually feels the same, but makes distances insignificant from a multiversal perspective, allowing free movement with no restriction on maximum velocity.  Here I'm a clerk, a peon, and I know whats going on, I understand it, and because of one, just ONE stupid mistake, I'm damned to forever be at the bottom.
