Office worker simulator
-Wake up, continue monotonous morning routine.
-Drive quietly to work. Parking lot is empty because you're always there hours before everyone.
-head to cube. Building is dark except for ambient light. Quiet enough to assume no one is in there. Always neither too hold or cold.. never sure what actual temperature is.
-get to cube. Sit in quiet darkness for eons as a blank, black screen stares emotionless at the top of your downtrodden head
-mustre up will to turn on monitor. Physical routine ensues and after mental years, you're finally working.
-after completing some overdue tasks owned by other people- you peek over down aisle outside cube. All is the same.
-get up to get coffee just for the excuse to get up.
-building hasn't changed at all since you entered
-get back to cube half a day later from make coffee that took a few hours.
- do a few more tasks and check clock. You're already in overtime. Doesn't matter - no one questions how much hours/effort you put into work. Time to go home.
- pack up suitcase. Never broke a sweat that day, it wasn't hot enough. Not even the coffee heated you up that much. Head to car.
- parking lot is empty again. Nothing appears different. There's never any trash or graffiti.
- go home. It's dark out. You never see your neighbors. You go inside and heat up a frozen meal from the fridge into the microwave.
- get a glass of water from the sink with a white ceramic "employee of the month" cup you bought yourself online years ago. The tip of the last e is discoloured slightly from (age? Washing? Rubbing?)
- eat $2 microwave meal and glass of water in absolute silence in the only currently lit room.
- go to bed. Lights out. Don't wake up. End of game.

Did your boss think you meant meta as in Facebook=meta?
Most of my coworkers think of Delta in terms of going swimming.
I'm the only person at my work with a Linux license plate, "fancy keyboard" or have taken a picture *with* Richard Stallman.
Maybe someone at another HQ had done one of those things.

Did you whip out your cool-kid shades for the moment?

Is this solarpunk house arrest or something?
Future pandemic lockdown?
Or a month python skit?

The term "post-office"[3] has been in use since the 1650s,[4] shortly after the legalisation of private mail services in England in 1635.[5] In early modern England, post riders—mounted couriers—were placed, or "posted",[6]every few hours along post roads at posting houses (also known as post houses) between major cities, or "post towns". These stables or inns permitted important correspondence to travel without delay. In early America, post offices were also known as stations. This term, as well as the term "post house", fell from use as horse and coach services were replaced by railways, aircraft, and automobiles.

It would be similar to a Reflection, or a Literary Review. Few such 'books' would likely exist inheritantly because of the limited subject matter.
