1st Granite, 1052. Chronicle of Eshtân Mengtad, manager of Moistenedrack

By the most ancient and holy decree of R.R.R.A.M. (Round-Robin Rule of Assured Madness) I have been appointed as the new manager of dwarven expedition to Moistenedrack.

After briefly surveying the state of our party I, as my very first order, relieved everyone of their useless hauling jobs. Which is: most of them. I don't believe in hauling stuff around just for the sake of hauling it around. Cooks and farmers can store food. Masons and carpenters can install furniture. Woodcutter can pile up enough wood. Nurses can do cleaning and disposin... Consecrating perished dwarves to holy ground.

Secondly I planned a new, more efficient layout for the future dwarven fortress. Clearly separating the workspace and living quarters by at least 10 squares of solid rock I prevented any noise carrying over. After all, a well-slept dwarf is an efficient dwarf.

Next I appointed our broker Rith Ethabcatten as the bookkeeper. Expecting nothing but the highest precision, of course. Lór Ellestkivish was named chief medical dwarf.

And why is our legendary stonecrafter Momuz Nakuthlorbam wasting her time making useless bone bolts? Is the reason we are nearly out of drink because our brewer has been playing in the dirt?

Reminder to future managers: A dining hall does not need water. It needs booze. Lots of it.
