   First thing first: Understand that the government in this island will oftentimes try to mimic what the mainland imperial government does (while not really understanding why colonial power does something). Mainly to try to ingratiate itself to the powers that be. Latest example, we know have our own DOGE-like agency...

   Now the dream...

   In the dream, I figured, that if people were getting fired, there would be lots of offices that would stay empty.

     So maybe, instead of renting an apartment, I could just occupy a vacant office!?

     I mean, I live with my GF, I only really need a single room, with a desk, a sofa, electricity, internet, and a near-by bathroom. Practically any office would be perfect!

     So, I cased out a couple of office buildings, picked the one that had the least restrictive parking. Then went in and tried mingling with the remaining government employees to try to suss out where to "set up shop"...

     Hiding among my government "coworkers" was easy. I used to be one. I knew I'd pass most conversations by agreeing with the speaker along political lines, and never talking badly about our dear leaders.

     I soon found an out of the way office that was fully furnished. Almost right next to a bathroom. And with the holy grail!...a working ether-net jack.

     My GF grew a little mad at me. Because, I started "going to the office" daily. But It was so peaceful, it was a boon to my writing!
