New job today. Cleaning the ducts above habitat three. I get to wear a space-suit, it's pretty thermal. They tell me the last guy got caught too close to a microbreach and the pressure pushed his entire body through a hole the size of my fist. I know I'm not that dumb. Jessie's still worried, though, and she's passed it on to the kids, the silly woman. They're all huffing and hollering and threatening to leave as I walk out the door. But what the hell. It's good pay. The sooner I make the credits, the sooner I get off this damn rock. If they wanna come with me that's their decision.
