Sorry guys, I think I broke it. I wanted to test it on my motivational speech,
Even moving the ball forward is a win at this company, so I wouldn’t worry too much. You are in what’s called a blood pit. This is a room in most abattoirs below the killing floor where runoff of various kinds is collected for purposes of selling to the protein shampoo industry (mostly). Above you is a grated floor where cows roam around until they are LR’d. Every now and then, a still-ambulatory, not yet LR’d cow accidentally shits out a nugget of something valuable that it accidentally ingested, and your job is to run from place to place in the blood pit, avoiding as best you can droppings of various consistencies from above (this is impossible to do perfectly) while pocketing nuggets. If you manage to pocket a few nuggets in a day’s work, that is a good day.
Unfortunately, it seems to have gotten too depressed to run after this.

If you find that you can get to the feed room more or less quickly, you are told to report back to your boss. If you do the task in the time allocated and return the approved bit of feed you were given, there will be no consequences. However, if you exceed the time you were given, there will be consequences. You will be sent home for two weeks.
This is how things work until you show an ability to actually do what you are told. You are never told what the consequences will be, nor is it clear how the
This is simply incredible, I would love to read something novel-length like this. But unfortunately it also generates a lot of banal text, as in some of the other examples in this thread. I wonder if there is a way to optimize for the weird shit.
