Quartday, Jaufre 16th 067.M42

Today the God-Emperor has blessed me! The focus and diligence with which I have applied myself to my duties as Transcript-Adept in the Office of Tithing and Export Management has been noticed by my superiors, and I have been ascended to the privileged role of Scribe-Adept, second only to our shift lead Scribe-Master Lorea Warders.

But I am not the only one who He has smiled on Today. Scribe-Master Warders herself has had a blessed day as well. It would seem that our usual Scribe-Master Atwater simply failed to turn up for shift, and refused to respond to any calls to locate him. So he is deemed to have abandoned his honoured duty, and Scribe-Adept Warders was moved up into his place. And in the absence left by her good fortune, I was similarly ascended!

My new duties as a Scribe-Adept are challenging. No longer do I simply copy a column of numbers from the Tithe Ledgers to the Office of Tithing and Export Management cogitator systems. Now I am responsible for verifying the work done by my row of Transcript-Adepts beneath me, and where provided by Scribe-Master Warders it is my duty to enter records of vox-captured communications into the blessed cogitator. An interesting challenge, but one that I am sure He would not have provided me were I not capable of performing this duty.

With my new duties comes an extra stipend of fifty scrip a week and the privilege of a full week off duty every Devotional. I nearly wept with joy, the news was so unexpectedly grand. And Throne forgive me, but I had to give in to my weakness and take advantage of my new bounty rather than immediately making a tithe of thanks at the Shrine - I've needed a new data slate for so long, I just had to go and buy this one. But I vow that from today, my weekly tithe will be doubled to make up for my displace of avarice.

It would appear that Charon and Persephone both smile today. The luck of the full pair is mine, and I shall give thanks to Him for His blessing today.

Thought for the day: If you cannot succeed, strive to at least fail gracefully.
