Diary of a Civilian Scientist

March 4, 699 AF Even my father doesn't understand me. Why did I have to be born into this family? Can't bear it. That old dog... It's fine if he didn't want to sell the house, but why did he have to kick me out? I've devoted my life to science... I have no idea how to take care of myself! It's a waste of my abilities to learn how to do those menial tasks. I read in the newspaper that there would be a salon next week for civilian scientists. There may be investors there, so I must go to secure funding. But will the investors understand the main principles behind time tunnels in such a short amount of time? They'd need to do some research beforehand, at least understand the Big Universe Time Tunnel Theory. I'll ask Daniel about the possible investors. If I can get their addresses, I can visit them in advance. Maybe I should write something to promote myself, just in case... "The experimental Time Tunnel Generator Device, recognized by the renowned Scientist Professor Isaac, Professor Alfred, and Professor Stephen." ...That sounds good. If I were an investor, I'd definitely be interested. What? It's not despicable of me to throw around those names. Besides, if it weren't for the people at the patent office, these professors would have already seen my invention by now... and recognize my genius, of course!
