Dear Diary:
Hello! It is lovely to meet you. This is me:
It's my first day on the job! And, since we're being honest with each other and this is a private journal, I have... noooo idea how to do it. I'm not even supposed to be doing it, actually, but the dwarf that was set to take over the rotating leadership of this place – whom my family and I were caravanning with for convenience – may or indeed may not have taken ill on the road and succumbed to a very undwarvenly thirst for water of all things annnd... sort of fallen into a creek and drowned a little bit. Still, all the paperwork was still in the wagon, and nobody in the Bust of Nuts should actually have known anything about the poor dead dwarf before he showed up so... Well, someone has to be in charge. Tholtig says giving orders makes his gout flare up, so... And this means a much nicer room, too!
My first act of leadership was appointing myself manager. I'm sure I'll figure out what that entails as I go, and it's bound to be better than cutting up fish all day. My second act was to go and have a serious word with that old resting-on-his-laurels Thriggle and insist that he do a better job as bookkeeper! To think, for years they've been pretending this shambles of a stockpile was good enough.
I'm hoping that if I focus enough on details, nobody will notice that I have literally zero qualifications for this job.
