9:00 AM, July the 5th, The Future

A.

Out of the house, into traffic. Grumble about how everyone has a car, now that biofuels are cheaply available - the petrol industry struggled really hard to maintain its income but it did not stand a chance against biofuels that can cheaply be made from renewable resources. Even so, I think its price is a lot higher than it should be, considering the production costs, but hey, it’s a business and so long as there’s high demand for it, they can set the price to be whatever they want it to be. At least I don’t have to pay for it myself, free fuel came along with the company car I was given when I took up this job. ‘So that you can get around more easily’. That actually just means ‘So you won’t have any excuses when we call you in to work in the middle of the night due to an emergency’. And those emergencies are becoming more and more frequent, each time there’s a bioterror scare, even if it is completely unfounded, they want everyone and their dog to be there to work on containment ASAP.
