Return of the Real-Estate Inspector

These past few weeks, I have set my receptacle for automatic posts to this space. I assumed it to be working, so I never bothered to check. Only now do I realise that, in fact, nothing was posted. I have finally narrowed down the possibilities to one: M&P has managed to bypass the block I set up. As a matter of fact, I believe they have always known of the contents of this journal, despite my efforts at preventing such a thing.

It was a tedious and tiring process, setting up all sorts of safeguards, hoses, mites, and anti-invasion appliances, but I finally managed to ensure that nothing I say will be censored by M&P.

Now, I imagine that to the person reading this, I might not be making much sense. Allow me to explain; M&P do not like anything being said against them. They do not like it when their employees go off on  private adventures. They also do not like anything unusual being associated with them. I'm afraid what you see here is me, breaking all ties with the great Moulder & Primbol Industries in the interest of my personal liberty.

The first post I made after "Back to the Old Routine" concerned the wellbeing of child labourers in the workhouses. This was apparently the last straw for M&P, as that was the first of the posts they deleted while it was still in the nether. I found out only recently that M&P bought this site, and have complete access to the journals of anyone who works under them, like myself. To them, the thought children working for them in their workhouses is completely reasonable. To many, in fact, the reality of child labour is nothing to be alarmed or ashamed by. To me, it is something that no human being should experience. I was just like one of those children for most of my childhood.

As I have said, I was not aware of my posts never seeing the light of day until I looked over the original files and noticed a rather heinous spelling error in one. When I opened my journal to correct this, I saw that none of the files I had written since March 17 had been posted. I have them set to post automatically, so this struck me as rather odd. Nonetheless, I believed it to be a fault of the machine itself, so I ran various updates in the hopes the problem would correct itself. It was then when I noticed a message had been delivered to my receptacle mailbox. Upon opening it, I read a long newsletter of new policies which I could not care less about. However, what struck me was the announcement that M&P were now in control of the site.

That is not the only reason I have neglected to post in such a long while. I am currently in the Margaret Thatcher Library, using one of the public receptacles. The reason for this is that I am no longer safe in my home.

I am confident that I have broken many rules by setting up the protection I am using against M&P, but it is no matter, as I now have enough money from my employment (however short) with them, I think that I will buy this receptacle from the library. They were going to have to replace this model anyway. I will fill you lovely little charmers in on what happened tomorrow. Right now, I need to rest. Too much running.
