Hello, cruel world!

Escape velocity not realized.  Furthermore, my interstellar travel license requires me to maintain a ship log.  I received the message today, which at light speed meant it was sent quite some time ago.  I have 31 sols of catching up to do.

Provisions:  Rice; chicken cooked in Italian dressing; spoonful of oleo; crickets; ice cream

Music:  KROQ HD2 internet feed

Accomplishments:  none

Today the major players at work bestowed praise upon us at the annual year-end meeting.  We won awards.  We help the community.  We’re still ranked fourth in most time slots.  The parent owner of the station is also in the process of selling us to the highest bidder.  My home planet refused to provide the necessary sundries.  A female co-worker prevented embarrassment by alerting me to the untucked pocket on the back of my pants.  I will never become accustomed to Earthly threads and fabrics.
