Dr. Karen Elstrom has been employed at the Lake Huron Research and Containment Site-43 since 1996. In that time she has proven a capable, level-headed member of administrative staff.

No wonder nobody likes her.

This is the story of how one woman overcame the odds to survive nearly three decades of paper-pushing, blame-soaking and flirtation-dodging to become utterly miserable while surrounded by shiny, happy people. She probably deserves it. Let's choose to believe she deserves it.

The Forms

by HarryBlankHarryBlank

From the Desk of Dr. Elstrom:

An administrator is severed from their signature as expression of personal preference. We sign our names to stamp the imprimatur of authorities vested in us, not to issue moral judgement. Our hand and seal are moved by higher powers than ourselves, and we do not second-guess their motives.

A Bitch

by HarryBlankHarryBlank

From the Desk of Dr. Elstrom:

It is possible, through a rough assemblage of varied documents from varied sources, to paint a sympathetic portrait of any human being. The careful curator can hint at deeper conflicts, ambivalence, even silent heroism. One must be wary of such potentially misleading assemblages.

The Ship of Screams

by HarryBlankHarryBlank

From the Desk of Dr. Elstrom:

It is an unfortunate fact of chemistry that our bodies and their controlling intellects have needs beyond simple sustenance. Internal fraternization is also a fact of any large organization; the further fact that most workplace romances end in disaster has proven, regretfully, of little value as a deterrence.

Transposthumousism

by HarryBlankHarryBlank

From the Desk of Dr. Elstrom:

The Foundation cannot support the Veil of Secrecy alone. We are required from time to time to interact with representatives of other normalcy-maintaining organizations, particularly when treading on their territory. Maintaining a neutral and noncommital posture is paramount on these occasions.

Karen, Queen of the Monsters!

by HarryBlankHarryBlank

From the Desk of Dr. Elstrom:

There are other Foundations beyond our own, and together we help secure the future of the human race across a multitude of worlds. Some of these are distastefully divorced from the logical frameworks governing ours; under such circumstances, judicious departures from protocol may be acceptable.

Act Your Age

by HarryBlankHarryBlank

From the Desk of Dr. Elstrom:

This organization will outlive us all, or we will live to witness the end of the Earth. Both possibilities weigh heavily on Foundation employees as they age to obsolescence, retirement and death. There is no staving off the reaper indefinitely; one must instead find such solace as one can, where one can.

Fair Play

by HarryBlankHarryBlank

From the Desk of Dr. Elstrom:

Setting rules and setting tasks can set you in your ways. It becomes difficult to see and seize opportunities, to live dynamically, really to live at all. We nevertheless must try, as new experiences can provide solutions to old problems. But remember this as well: there will always be new problems.

The Faux Pas

by HarryBlankHarryBlank

From the Desk of Dr. Elstrom:

In retrospect, personnel should not be encouraged in their fraternization efforts. The formation of permanent attachments is at best an obstacle to the smooth execution of our containment efforts, and at worst an invitation to anomalous disorder. Perhaps stricter guidelines should be laid down…
