I work at Area 51

People have way blown things out of proportion with the whole aliens thing. As an employee I never really saw anything special. You'd never imagine in a million years anything fishy was going on. Not even all of their computers are up-to-date. Only thing I ever saw was some experimental aircraft, but it was also nothing radically different than what we have already. All the other employees are just regular joes like you and me- seriously. To think there are so many people making money off of the myth is funny to me. Take hollywood, for instance, with independence day. Everyone just tries to cash in on gullible people. Not that I completely rule the possibility of extraterrestrials out. Take everything you hear with a grain of salt though. If you're not doing that, it's really just a sign of a low IQ. Once you've seen through the nonsense it really gives you a whole new perspective on human gullibility. No one ever questions the questioners. Too many people seem to sleepwalk through life but still be very passionate about their dream world. One of my buddies at the facility talks about this all the time. The loudest, most respected people are not always the smartest or most honest. He said something that's really very true: people talk about the man behind the curtain, but they don't realize that half the time the man behind the curtain is the man who's making them question the honest. Even if there's some kind of conspiracy going on, for one thing we wouldn't know about it, and for another, humans are fallible and these conspiracy theories paint the government as if it's run by superheroes. Mutants. Anyway, folks really, there's really nothing exciting going on there. Nothing more exciting than working at a bank. Behind the curtain is... empty costumes, and actors without make-up. Everybody always goes for the more exciting explanations, though. Here. I'll give you a rundown of what a typical day is for me. Night-time is when my shift starts. During my shift, I walk around with a gun and a flashlight, bored out of my skull. Then I go on lunch. Half the time they just pay you to walk around. Even then, that's the most exertion you get. Coffee. Unbearable without coffee . Really good coffee there, btw. They get it from starbucks. And there's really nothing else to tell. I'm being completely honest here. No "man behind the curtain".

They technically don't allow us to talk about what we see, but that's just military rigidity. Half the people I work with there seem kind of slow, anyway. Even the smart ones are doofuses. You wouldn't know they worked there if you met them. Area 51. Really can't believe that used to mean something to me. Every day it's the same there. Warehouses. Anal officers. Totally pointless military ceremony. Crappy food. However, the most interesting thing was an unmanned reconnaissance drone, but if you've ever played with a toy helicopter, you're not missing anything. It's something everybody knows about now, anyway. No one's watching you or spying on you. God, you'd be boring to watch, anyway!
